SQL Server computed column select from another table

if it is only for display purposes,why not create a view..

select <<add other columns you need>> mediaspend+basicadviews as totaladviews
from 
orders o
join
packages p
on p.packageid=o.orderid

You won't be able to use columns from another table within a computed column expression. This is an extract from the MSDN documentation.

A computed column is computed from an expression that can use other columns in the same table.

You mentioned that your motivation for using a computed column was to increase performance. There are a lot of restrictions but an indexed view might add value here.

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]
