Sum from two different tables based on a common unique key

Hello everyone,

 

I am a new Power BI user and still not very at ease with DAX.

 

I am trying to create a new tab which will sum the Data fields from two different tables based on a common unique key which is Month of Year as shown below:

Can anyone please explain me how to do that?

 

I couldn't find any other post covering the same question, apologies if I'm duplicating this.

 

Thanks for your help,

Mounir

You should be able to do something like this if the two tables are related:

 

Data Sum = CALCULATE(SUM('Tab 1'[Data 1]),RELATEDTABLE('Tab 1')) + CALCULATE(SUM('Tab 2'[Data 2]),RELATEDTABLE('Tab 2'))
