    Power Pivot multiply 2 columns each in a separate but related table

    Hi,
    I'm trying to multiply two columns, (YouTube tutorial), and it's all worked in the past but now when trying to repeat i get error message,
    This is what I originally entered and it worked on my first attempt;

    =RELATED('Cookie Types'[Profit per]*Orders[Units Sold], now when I try it continually insists on entering a final parenthesis and then underling in red.

    I've changed the order to ; =Orders[Units Sold]*RELATED('Cookie Types'[Profit per]), and this returns the correct result.


    I've attached the workbook, and hope someone can help.

    Richard.

    Hi,

    You've just got a parenthesis wrong:

    =RELATED('Cookie Types'[Profit per])*Orders[Units Sold]
