I know this answer comes two years late, but just to help anyone who googles and finds this post:
It is perfectly legal to define a user-defined function and use it as the computed value. This function may contain select statements from other tables.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.getAdViews(@packageId int)
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
declare @bav int
select @bav = BaseAdViews from Packages where PackageId = @packageId
RETURN @bav
END
Then in your computed column, just use the expression dbo.getSumAdViews(PackageId)+MediaSpend
as so:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Orders](
[OrderId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[PackageId] [int] NOT NULL,
[MediaSpend] [int] NULL,
[TotalAdViews] AS dbo.getAdViews(PackageId)+MediaSpend
) ON [PRIMARY]
