johnphil You need to have bit transforming to your lookup table before you use that. This can be achieved in the "Power Query Editor" as below:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnTUjYpS0lEyVIrViVYyNtA1tgTyjMA8AwNdI0sdEwNdS5CYsVJsLAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [BuType = _t, Identifier = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"BuType", type text}, {"Identifier", Int64.Type}}), #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type", {{"BuType", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "BuType"), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"BuType", type text}}), #"Split Column by Delimiter1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type1", "BuType", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("-", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"BuType.1", "BuType.2"}), #"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter1",{{"BuType.1", type text}, {"BuType.2", type text}}), #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type2",{{"BuType.1", "BuTypeLower"}, {"BuType.2", "BuTypeHigher"}}) in #"Renamed Columns"Now it will look like this...
Then, you can use this lookup table (Which was transformed as above) in your main table as below
Column = CALCULATE(VALUES(Test30Lkp[Identifier]),FILTER(Test30Lkp,Test30CalcField[BUType]>=Test30Lkp[BuTypeLower] && Test30CalcField[BUType] <= Test30Lkp[BuTypeHigher]))
Here is the expected output...

johnphil It was a calculated column based on lookup table. You are trying to create a measure. Also, please make sure you have transformed the lookup table as mentioned above otherwise your lookupvalue function will fail.

How do i do it when I am only in Power Query?
Sorry if noob question

johnphil If you want to do this Power Query, then you need to write a custom LOOKUP function using M-Code.
