Hi @wbarnes ,
In DAX, string outputs in a measure must be returned as a DAX expression, not as comments (i.e., you can’t use -- for comments inside the formula). Also, "General Number" is not a valid format string for FORMAT—use "#" or just wrap the number in FORMAT without a format string.
Provider ID =
VAR ProviderID =
LOOKUPVALUE(
'Provider Lookup'[Provider ID],
'Provider Lookup'[Provider Name],
'Code Stroke DDR'[Who provided Telestroke Service]
)
RETURN
IF(
ISBLANK(ProviderID),
"No ID",
FORMAT(ProviderID, "")
)
