Pull data in different columns of one table into another table

I have one table (Shiptracking history) with departure, arrival, mass columns. There are entries with the same departure or same arrival date.

I would like to create another table with a calendar date, exports & imports on each day. Creating the calendar date is easy as shown below.

 

Calendar = CALENDAR ( MIN(MIN('Shiptracking history'[Arrival]),MIN('Shiptracking history'[Departure])), MAX(MAX('Shiptracking history'[Arrival]),MAX('Shiptracking history'[Departure])) )

Creating the Exports and Imports columns is the problem I have.  First, I attempted to establish a relationship between the Date in the Calendar table and the Departure/Arrival in the Shiptracking history table. That does not seem to be legit and one of the relationships is not active.

Then I was hoping to bring in the Exports and the Imports using the following code

 

Exports = SUMX(RELATEDTABLE('Shiptracking history'),'Shiptracking history'[Mass]))
Imports = SUMX(RELATEDTABLE('Shiptracking history'),'Shiptracking history'[Mass]))

 But clearly it doesn’t work and I get an error.

How can I generate Exports and Imports in the Calendar table, using the data in the Shiptracking history table? I also experimented with SELECTCOLUMNS but I couldn't make it work.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Please remove the relationship between two tables, and try this:

Exports =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Shiptracking history'[Mass] ),
    FILTER (
        'Shiptracking history',
        'Shiptracking history'[Departure] = EARLIER ( Calendar[Date] )
    )
)

Imports =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Shiptracking history'[Mass] ),
    FILTER (
        'Shiptracking history',
        'Shiptracking history'[Arrival] = EARLIER ( Calendar[Date] )
    )
)
