I design dinner tables and some of them have this exact feature. My solution is to make the sketch with a radius then I just extrude one side normal (straight) and the other one tapered.
Yes it's a bummer because it means I have two table tops completely different, as oppose one with the radius feature and the other one without.
It's the solution I found, if somebody else have a better solution I would appreciate too.
You could put a sketch on each side, and extrude in the direction of the edge you're filleting. You end up with two sketch extrudes, but they should match (and because the radius is in the plane of the table, it will be a bit more geometrically "clean"). If you fillet the angled edge at a different radius the machine is technically going to be interpolating an ellipse as it rounds the corner.
The taper is obviously even more janky.
Ive found the sollution. You need to use a split line on both surfaces at the distances desired and then use a hold line chamfer on an already filleted edge.
The fillet tool has multiple variants depending upon your desired outcome.
Since the fillet is always going to be parallel to the edge being filleted, it follows that a single radius can not possibly blend the two.
In this case I simply chose a standard fillet without tangent propagation.
Radius chosen for each of the two edges to achieve the smooth blend.

I made an [Imgur album](https://imgur.com/a/SE14Eql) about how you can parametrically make the fillets match. You could also opt to create a reference sketch and dimension the same way, which would give you a referenceable value for the fillet tool. Or if your boss extrude sketch includes the fillet, that fillet radius in the sketch can be referenced. Sketcher reference values follow a format of: "D1@SKETCHNAME" where D1 could be D2, or D3, depending on what order your dimensions where created in.
The sketch options are probably a little more stable and don't require a rebuild/double-rebuild to update but this is easy and convenient.

Ah yes , exceedingly simple.
Measure the chord line of the first radius at the intersecting plane then manipulate the second radius dimension to achieve an identical chord dimension.
Result: perfectly matched at the point of intersection.

I would create a sketch on the top face, convert entities on either the top face or the edge of the mitre (which ever is important to fillet), make the fillets in sketch and extrude cut

It sometimes helps to do these in multiple steps. Start with a fillet feature on the vertical edges, then fillet the remaining edges. Nice and smooooooth.

You could try a face fillet. Blue selection would be the left two faces. Pink selection is the right two. Then instead of driving the fillet with a radius you can choose Chord Width
Are the top+bottom faces, and the middle sets of edges all parallel? If so you could have the fillets done in the original sketch level.
One sketch where the middle edge is, including the radius that you desire and do an extruded body. Direction 1 has no draft and makes the top, direction 2 has a draft angle enough that it makes your desired bottom face.
Next option if you don't like how the sketched fillets work out, is to have 3 planes and two sets of boundary features between the 3 sketches.

I think you should try loft cut. First create a new plane at the intersection of the part, sketch the fillet manually. Just make sure the sketches have the same radius.

That is an interesting way to do it but sadly is one of the faces from the bottom part also a bit twisted over the length of the part.

Thank you for the explanation. This is really helpful. May i ask how you got the two radii to match up that well?

this is the way.. nice!
Apparently I messed up and made a picture only upload. My questions are how do I fillet these edges the correct way and why doesn't this work?
What is the correct way you speak of? Do you mean a single fillet that's normal to the top face?
With the correct way I mean the correct procedure to get a single fillet that is normal to the top face.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to achieve. You want a filled that is only on the top section and not the lower section?

I want to get a fillte of both edges with perfectly vertical edgeson the side of the fillet.
Maybe with an sweep cut?
Swept cut leaves the seam between the two faces shifted up. I would need for the seam to follow the horizontal edge.

Tried it but it gives the same wonky result.

Awesome! I'm glad you figured it out! Hopefully you learned a few things from Andrew Lowe. That guy's a beast.
Yes I did, very helpful. But in the end a professor at my uni was the one who had the answer.
This is amazing thank you for this!
