How to create this calculated column (Power Query)

[bigtree123]

I have a table 'Allocation' which looks like:

Year	Week	Person	Project	HoursAllocated
2021	27	A	X	2
2021	27	A	Y	3
2021	27	B	Z	5
2021	27	C	Z	6
2021	28	A	X	3
2021	28	A	Y	8

This table represents on a week-person-project level, how many hours are allocated.

I have another table 'TimeRegistered', which looks like:

Date	Year	Week	Person	Project	HoursRegistered
05-07-2021	2021	27	A	X	1
06-07-2021	2021	27	A	X	1
08-07-2021	2021	27	A	Y	2
09-07-2021	2021	27	A	Y	1
10-07-2021	2021	27	B	Z	3

This table represents on a daily-person-project level, how many hours were registered.

My goal is to add a column 'HoursRegistered' to the 'Allocation' table, which summarizes at the week-person-project level how many hours were registered.

How can I achieve this?

@bigtree123 Try this:

Calc_column=var Current_Year='Allocation'[Year]

var Current_Week='Allocation'[Week]

var Current_Person='Allocation'[Person]

var Current_Project='Allocation'[Project]

var tempTable=FILTER('TimeRegistered','TimeRegistered'[Year]=Current_Year&&'TimeRegistered'[Week]=Current_Week&&'TimeRegistered'[Person]=Current_Person&&'TimeRegistered'[Project]=Current_Project)

return SUMX(tempTable,[HoursRegistered])

This works well! Thanks

I am wondering if its possible to do the same thing in Power Query? As I would like to filter the rows of this table using the new column created.
