I know how to do this in SQL, but I want to see if DAX provides a better solution. I have 2 tables, one contains accounts (ACCT) and the direction of the "sign" of that account, either -1 or 1. The other contains accounts and their actual and budget amounts (TRANS). The tables are related on the account column. I simply want to take the Actual and Budget amount columns in the TRANS table and flip the sign based on the ACCT table. Something like TRANS(ActualAmount) * ACCT(Sign). Seems like such a simple thing, but I can't figure it out.
Solved! Go to Solution.

If you have a model that looks something like this.
Then you need calculations that look similar to the below:
Essentially you iterate over the account sign, this in turn will project a filter down to the transaction table to the related transaction. Then you can perform the required multiplication.
Amount Calc = CALCULATE ( SUMX ( VALUES ( 'Account'[Sign] ), CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Account'[Sign] ) * SUM ( 'Transaction'[Amount] ) ) ) ) Budget Calc = CALCULATE ( SUMX ( VALUES ( 'Account'[Sign] ), CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Account'[Sign] ) * SUM ( 'Transaction'[Budget] ) ) ) )

Perfect, thank you!
