DAX equivalent of XLOOKUP function in Excel

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to duplicate the XLOOKUP function in DAX? In my excel file, if the number of photos=0, then I need to look for the next date where the number of photos is greater than 0, and assign the Tier Lookup to the dates prior. The desired result is shown in column I.

Thank you!

This is certainly a job for PowerQuery, not DAX, if you want to transform data in a model table.

Good afternoon jwarner,

Consider using Power Query to solve this instead of DAX. Power Query offers better tracability of this kind of transformation.

I reserve DAX in order to create measures that I will use in my visual and not to transform data.

Regarding your question:

   - sort your data set by date ascending

   - assuming the column "project tier" is filled for the day with a number of pictures and NULL for the day with number of pictures is 0, then you could use the out fo the box function "Fill up" to fulfill your requirements.

Did it answer your question? Mark it as a solution to your post

If you like my solution, please add a kudo 

Good luck.

Kind regards,
