Have a power pivot with two tables named Data and Accounts list 2019 and a relationship between the two tables on the column "account".

I try to create a calculated field between the field sum of yeartotal in table data and signage in table accounts list 2019.

The field has the formula:
=Data[Sum of YearTotal]*'Accounts List 2019'[Signage]

I receive the following error:
could not add the field measure1 because the formula is invalid
a single value for column signage in table accounts list 2019 cannot be determined.

Excel Can Read to You
Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
Think you need to re-plan your schema. Sounds like you are trying to join two fact tables. Account should probably exist as a dimension table, linked to the two fact tables.
Alternately go for the "big fat" approach and merge the two tables in Power query.
