    Hi @javeriatabassum 

     

    The related table must be in a Many:1 relationship (i.e. a Lookup column on your current table).  See example here where I am referencing the Owning User and selecting a field from that table:

    Only specific column types can be created (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/teams/formula-columns#data-types

    I have a situation in Dataverse where I need a calculated column on Table A, where Table A is the "One" and Table B is the "Many."  Table A has 5 records with 5 different Work Order IDs, and Table B has over 100 records, with those same Work Order IDs spread among many records, some records have the same ID.  For each Work Order in Table A, I want a column to filter table B to the current record's Work Order, then sum up the values from a Completed column (numeric, just 0 or 1 values) in Table B. Is this possible?
