Create Table from another table in PBI

Hello everyone

I’m trying to create a table from another one like this:

(Table1)

Origin

Destination

Cost

A

B

1

B

E

2

C

A

3

D

D

4

A

C

5

B

A

6

 

And the end result would be:

 

(Table2)

Location

Origin

Destination

Cost =(Origin+Destination)/2

A

6

9

7.5

B

8

1

4.5

C

3

5

4

D

4

4

4

E

0

2

1

 

(Table2)[Location] – unique values from Origin and Destination

(Table2)[Origin] – sum of all cost with origin x (SUMIF in excel)

(Table2)[Destination] – sum of all cost with destination x (SUMIF in excel)

 

Thanks in advance.

Ok

Eventually i've figured it out (i think ....)

 

using this post:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Append-Rows-using-Another-columns/td-p/401836

 

i came up with this:

Tabela1 = VAR tbl1 =
SELECTCOLUMNS ( Vendas, "Mun", [OriginCounty], "Desconto", [ValorDesconto]/2)
VAR tbl2 =
SELECTCOLUMNS ( Vendas, "Mun", [DestinationCounty], "Desconto", [ValorDesconto]/2)
RETURN
UNION ( tbl1, tbl2 )
 
which creates a new table (not with unique values), but when using a table view in PBI it aggregates the values, leaving the table as desired.

@rui_mendes it is super easy if you create another table with uniques value of locations and set the relationship of this new table with Origin and Destination columns, the new table will be on one side of the relationship and one relationship will be inactive, let's assume a relationship with destination column is inactive, now add the following measure

 

Sum Origin = SUM ( Table[Cost] )

Sum Destination = CALCULATE ( [Sum Origin], USERELATIONSHIP ( LocationTable[Lccation], Table[Destinatoin] ) ) 

 

on table visual, drop location from this new table, and above measures.

Thanks for the answer.

 

The problem is that the initial table is constantly changing (at least once a week). Is it possible for the second table with unique values to be created automatically ?
