    TitikshaGanjoo,

    I connected to the SQL Server database using Driect query, based on my test, the function LOOKUPVALUES cannot be used in calculated column in this situation.

    However, we can go to File -> Options and settings -> Options - > DirectQuery and enable the option “Allow unrestricted measures in Direct Query Mode”.

     

     

    After that we use the function when we create measures.

     

    You can also check supported functions in DirectQuery mode in this article.

    Regards,
    Lydia

Hi,

 

I do not have the option "Allow unrestricted measure in Direct Query"

Where is this options moved in the new version, May 2019 ?

 

Thanks.

I also do not have the option "Allow unrestricted measure in Direct Query".  Is this because my storage mode is mixed?  If so, are there any solutions for creating a lookup column?  Thanks!
