Need to return first value when LOOKUPVALUE returns multiple values
Hi All
- I have a table in my Power BI report which contains a Companyname and Symbol.
- I want to write a DAX measure where I pass in the Companyname and it returns the Symbol.
- I pass in the Companyname via another measure called [Selected Stock]. This works.
This is my current DAX:
Selected Stock Symbol =
LOOKUPVALUE(
DimCompanies[Symbol],
DimCompanies[Companyname],
[Selected Stock]
)
The problem is that the Companyname is not unique.
So in the instance of 'Alphabet Inc.' my DAX returns a blank as there are multiple values (GOOGL and GOOG).
In this instance I want to return the first value it finds but am stuggleing with the code. I have tried using a combination of Firstnonblank and Filter but am still stuck.
Any help would be great.

andrew_k Use MINX( FILTER( ... ), ... ) instead of LOOKUPVALUE.

Excellent. Thanks Greg!
MINX( FILTER(DimCompanies, [Companyname] = [Selected Stock]),[Symbol])
