How to create an IF statement in Power BI referencing 2 tables

[Anonymous]

Hi guys and girls,

I am new to power bi and im finding it rather challenging to create a measure based off 2 tables.

The tables i am using are Calendar(This is Dimension) and SalesMeasure(This is Fact)

So basically i want to create a SalesCY measure in my Fact table that indicates if the flag MTDCY_Flag = 1 then show Sales value else 0;

MTDCY_Flag is in Calendar table.

I tried to create something along the lines as ..

SalesCY = IF(Related('Calendar'[MTDCY_Flag = 1); 'SalesMeasures[SalesValue]; 0);

This doesn't work though. 

Thanks

Sounds like you could you create a calculated column to diplay where MTDCY_Flag = 1.

Column = IF(MTDCY[Flag] = 1, "True", "False")

You could then use a visual filter to filter to only "True" values which you can then narrow down to where Sales = 0.
