Hi - I have 2 tables, one containing a PRODUCT_VOLUME column and one containing a REGISTER_SIZE column. Both columns are linked by LEGAL_ID as the unique identifier (an additional column in both tables)
I want create a new column (as there is one row per month to this data and want to show it on a time chart) to divide the PRODUCT_VOLUME for the specific LEGAL_ID by the REGISTER_SIZE for that specific LEGAL_ID.
I'm a bit of a novice and so if anyone can help with the DAX that would be appreciated!

Hey @lewdow
I should have used LOOKUP value; sorry about that.
I tested this out & here is my DAX for the calculated column:
Product/Register = DIVIDE( Product_Volume_Table[Product_Volume], LOOKUPVALUE( Register_Size_Table[Register_size], Register_Size_Table[Legal_id], Product_Volume_Table[Legal_id] ) )
Keep in mind I don't know the name of your tables, so the name of my tables are probably different than yours. I'm including my pbix file so you can see how I have things set up.

Hey!
When I have two tables (A & B) and want to reference a value in a column in table B in a calculated column in table A when they are related, I use the LOOKUP expression.
Maybe in your situation you can use something like this:
New Column = DIVIDE( PRODUCT_VOLUME, LOOKUP( REGISTER_SIZE table[REGISTER_SIZE column], REGISTER_SIZE table[LEGAL_ID column], PRODUCT_VOLUME table[LEGAL_ID column] ) )
Something like this could be used if adding a calculated column in the table that contains the PRODUCT_VOLUME column.
Thanks, can't quite get it to work. Shoudl it be LOOKUPVALUE instead of just LOOKUP?
The error I get when using LOOKUPVALUE appears to not be able to find the REGISTER_SIZE table - is there something special I need to add in to get it to recognise looking at another table?
