Lookup value using table variable. Cannot find table variable

Hi

I am trying to simplify my dashboard modeling by using a table variable instead of creating an actual table and lookupvalue from there. The problem is when I try to lookupvalue from table it says it is expecting a basetable instead. here is the code

Classify by Customer SalesDocType =
  VAR
    _table_var = GROUPBY(customer_mapping_tbl, customer_mapping_tbl[SoldToParty], customer_mapping_tbl[SalesDocType], customer_mapping_tbl[Order Acquisition Classification])
  RETURN
    LOOKUPVALUE(_table_var[Order Acquisition Classification], _table_var[SoldToParty], sales_document_header_data_tbl[SoldToParty], _table_var[SalesDocType], sales_document_header_data_tbl[SalesDocType])

Hi @Anonymous 
Please try

Classify by Customer SalesDocType =
VAR T1 =
    GROUPBY (
        customer_mapping_tbl,
        customer_mapping_tbl[SoldToParty],
        customer_mapping_tbl[SalesDocType],
        customer_mapping_tbl[Order Acquisition Classification]
    )
VAR T2 =
    FILTER (
        T1,
        customer_mapping_tbl[SoldToParty] = sales_document_header_data_tbl[SoldToParty]
            && customer_mapping_tbl[SalesDocType] = sales_document_header_data_tbl[SalesDocType]
    )
RETURN
    MAXX ( T2, customer_mapping_tbl[Order Acquisition Classification] )
