getting unexpected errors

a minute ago

Afternoon all, hope you can help out.  I am tring to compare two text fields in a column on two different tables and then return a text field value and write it in a column on the first table:  Example:

 

 

'Table 1'[system_id] =
IF (
DISTINCT('Table 1'[UIC]) = DISTINCT('Table 2'[UIC]),
DISTINCT('Table 2'[system_id]),
BLANK()
)

 

Error I keep getting is as follows:

EVALUATE

'Table 1'[system_id] =
IF (
DISTINCT('Table 1'[UIC]) = DISTINCT('Table 2'[UIC]),
DISTINCT('Table 2'[system_id]),
BLANK()
)

Can someone provide guidance?

@mikeST DISTINCT returns a table and you can't return a table as a column or measure result. I'm not sure but I *think* you want something like this:

New Column in Table1 = 
  VAR __ID = [SYSTEM_ID]
  VAR __UIC = [UIC]
  VAR __OtherUIC = MAXX( FILTER( 'Table2', [SYSTEM_ID] = __ID ), [UIC] )
  VAR __Result = IF( __UIC = __OtherUIC, __OtherUIC, BLANK() )
RETURN
  __Result
