getting unexpected errors
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:
DAX:
EVALUATE
'Table 1'[system_id] =
IF (
DISTINCT('Table 1'[UIC]) = DISTINCT('Table 2'[UIC]),
DISTINCT('Table 2'[system_id]),
BLANK()
)
Correlation Id: e07dcf4e-1ad3-9181-2a01-5666123aa645
Error Details: The end of the input was reached.
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
