Hello,
Can somebody tell me if this is possible in Power BI?
I have two tables and I want to use a lookup to find a value, but the problem is that there are multiple return values. Is it possible to create an column with multiple returns like below?
Table: "Data"
Table: "Quantities"
The outcome what I need is this:
Is this possible in Power BI?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
Name CC =
RELATED(Data[Name])
It is for creating a new column.

Hi @Anonymous ,
If you want to go for Lookup, you can create a calculated column in the Quantities table using the following DAX
Name Lookup Column =
LOOKUPVALUE(
Data[Name],
Data[Letter],
Quantities[Letter]
)
This will give the following result.
But for better performance you should create a relationship between the Data and Quantities table in the data model and use RELATED() function. Or directly drag them in a visual as told by Amit.
Regards.
@Anonymous , if join these two tables together on letter column, you can show them together in visual
or merge in power query Append : https://radacad.com/append-vs-merge-in-power-bi-and-power-query
