Looking up values from another table
Hi
I have two tables. both have a master column called Name and a relationship exists between the name columns.
each table has a values column.
in Table 1 I want to add a column that looks up the value in Table 2 if the names in the name columns are the same.
i've tried lookupvalue with the following syntax
Util = LOOKUPVALUE('table2'[value],'table2'[Name],'Table1'[Name])
however it only retuns one value for a cell called Blank. yet I know for a fact the names in the columns are the same.
can anyone help with this?
thanks

Hi Anonymous ,
Have you tried RELATED function to calculate this column.
Thanks,

can you help with what the syntax would look like with using related? everytime I try to use it i get errors.

I just tried entering measure=RELATED('Table2'[Value]) and I got an error. there is a 1:1 relationship in place yet it doesn't appear to recognise the relationship
