LOOKUPVALUE returns blank value
Hi,
I'm facing a problem where i use lookupvalue formula with 2 values and returns blank value, and need help on this.
I have 2 tables, with following samples
Table #1
Asset_no Date Value1
A 1-Jan-18 1000
B 1-Jan-18 200
A 2-Jan-18 1000
B 2-Jan-18 210
Table #2
Asset_no Date Value2
A 1-Jan-18 1000
B 1-Jan-18 250
A 2-Jan-18 1100
B 2-Jan-18 210
And i'd like to compare both tables, and expect to have the result in Table #1
result expected:
Asset_no Date Value1 Value2_Table2
A 1-Jan-18 1000 1000
B 1-Jan-18 200 250
A 2-Jan-18 1000 1100
B 2-Jan-18 210 210
Tried to use this formula in this value2 by adding a calculated column:
Value2_Table2 = LOOKUPVALUE(Table2[Value2], Table2[Asset_no], Table1[Asset_no], Table2[Date], Table1[Date])
however, the Value2_Table2 returned is blank
I have ensured the data type of Asset_no and Date in both table is the same, and ensure that there's only 1 row to expect in Table2. Need advise what may cause the blank result, and how to correct it.
it's really weird, but your example works fine on my pc, no joins between the tables
are both tables' data types the same? Other than that I cannot think of a reason for it not working on your side

Hi RMV,
You can share your solution, and mark it as answer. So more people will find workaround clearly.
