The solution is very straightforward and also scalable if more columns should be incorporated.

Expertise = List.Accumulate(


        {Days as from Today},


        {Skills and Knowledge},


        (Current, Everyday) => Current & Day.LearnAndPractise(Everyday)


)

Hello @khisla,

 

Can you please try this approach:

Match = 
VAR Found = 
    LOOKUPVALUE(
        'Returns'[Item ID], 
        'Returns'[Order Number], 'Order Information'[Order ID], 
        'Returns'[Item ID], 'Order Information'[SKU]
    )
RETURN 
    IF(NOT(ISBLANK(Found)), 1, 0)
