Hi,

I have a data model that contains 3 tables - a date table, a table containing a list of course attendees on three different types of courses, and a look up table that shows the cost to run each course.

I have managed to write some measures which show the number of attendees on each of the courses, and the number of times these courses have been run. I`m struggling to write a measure to show the course cost though.  I can bring the course cost into my pivot but get it to multiply by the number of times a specific course has been run.

Please see the attached spreadsheet.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, 

Brendan

Hi Brendan,

You were close. When your calculation is iterating over rows you should use one of the X functions, like in this case, SUMX:

Total Course Cost: =SUMX(Course_cost_lookup,[Courses Run] * [Course_cost])
