    Hi,

    This calculated column formula in the ALL FYs table works

    Column = LOOKUPVALUE('Perf metrics'[Contract Signed Date],'Perf metrics'[(PR) PR No.],'all Fys'[(PR) PR No.],'Perf metrics'[(PR) PR Item No.],'all Fys'[(PR) PR Item No.])

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    That error message means that there are duplicate entries appearing in the PR_REF_NO column of the System PR table.

Hi Ashish,

 

Thanks for your enlightening advice.

 

I've checked and found that there were indeed duplicates of PR_REF_NO as there were more than one START DATE for some of the PR_REF_NO. I further confirmed that we can use the latest date if this occurs. However, after sorting both the PR_REF_NO and the START DATE, I am at a loss how to extract only the correct date. I tried to use the conditional column method, but there seems to be no way to indicate this condition here.  Is it possible to do a if-else condition whereby if PR_REF_NO is duplicated, only extract the later date of whatever number of Start Dates available for each of this non-unique PR_REF_NO? 

 

Thanks so much for helping with this!
