derive new column

Hi! I'm trying to create a new column to derive the invoice no (in blue below) based on the ID match. I've used LOOKUPVALUE formula to no avail. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating a calculated column.

Expected new column CC =
LOOKUPVALUE ( Data[Invoice No], Data[Extracted ID], Data[ID] )

Thanks! I did that and get an error - 'A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected'. I've added a fourth parameter "" and it works now.
