total by using a reference table

[IF]

Hi,

I have a simple situation but couldn't solve it. I have table "Reference":

Type	Value
a	5
b	7
c	10

Another table is : "Main"

Material	Type
K1	a
K2	a
K3	b
M1	c
M2	c

I want to show the data and get total of it. But could not get the total. I also want to show the total at a card. How can I do it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @IF ,

Based on your description, you can create a calculated column in Table "Main" as follows.

value = LOOKUPVALUE('Reference'[Value],Reference[Type],[Type])

Result:

Hope that's what you were looking for.

in your layout tab you create a relationship between the tables and joining the reference together

then you can drag the value against the material

[IF]

But it doesn't show the total as I provided the image in the post. I also want to a have card showing the total as well.
