How to use a measure in another table with many to many relationship

[pjmorris]

Hi,


I have two tables:


1. a Task Table: 'tblTask' containing [title], [sub title], [booking group] and [effort]. the first three fields are text strings and the fourth is a percentage.

2. a Resource Table: 'tblResource' containing [date], [booking group] and [available effort].


The Resource Table is linked to a calendar table that allows the effort available per accounting period to be calculated. Thus for example [booking group]=”ILS” and accounting period AP-1: [ActualAvailableResource] = 391.29 hours, which is correct, this measure works for other combinations of [Booking Group] and tblCalendar[Accounting Period].


I now need to calculate:

tblTask[effort] * tblResource[ActualAvailableResource]

This appears to work, but the Calender filter created by having the [Accounting Period] as a column heading isn’t applied to the tblResource and hence the result is incorrect. I feel that this is because the tblTask isn’t linked to either the tblCalendar or, because of the many to many relationship, to tblResource.


If anyone can suggest how to go about this I’d be really grateful.


Regards

Apologies – I misunderstood what was happening!


After further investigation I can see that the tblResource is being filtered by the date. It is not being filtered by [Booking Group]. Ive now tried using the following:


=sum(tblTasksSimple[Effort])*calculate([ActualAvailableResource],tblResource[Booking Group]) without success.


and [ActualAvailableResource]=sumx(tblResource,tblResource[Available Hrs]*RELATED(tblCalendar[Daily % of Annual]))


Hope this helps.

Peter
