Calculated Measure using result based on another column

Hi, I have a data set with list of sports teams and their actions during a game. I have a column for team and a column for their opposition and a calculated measure for number of tackles. Is there a calculated measure I can create that would show the opposition tackles for any given team instead of having to use them in seperate tables as seen below?

Hi @jimmymartin ,

According to your description, in my understanding, there're two tables in your sample,

Team table:

Opposition table:

vkalyjmsft_2-1658830330403.png

Then create a measure to extrat the tackles of the opposition team, if this is the case, here's my solution, use the lookupvalue-function to create a measure.

Opposition Tackles =
LOOKUPVALUE (
    Opposition[Tackles],
    'Opposition'[Oppositon], MAX ( 'Team'[Team] )
)

Get the result.
