Hi @jamc ,

 

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) My test data is the same as yours.

(2) We can create a measure.

status = 
var _a_excess=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Excess]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Company]="CompanyA" ))
var _b_shortage=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Shortage]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Company]="CompanyB"))
var _c_shortage=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Shortage]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Company]="CompanyC"))
return 
IF(_a_excess<_b_shortage || _a_excess<_c_shortage,"Opportunity",BLANK())

(3) Then the result is as follows.

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

 

Best Regards,
