Hey MickyG ,

 

it's a little bit hard to tell without knowing the data model. I don't really see a need for a lookup.

Can you check if the following approach works:

County Cases Average per 100k =
CALCULATE(
    SUM( 'County COVID Data'[cases_avg_per_100k] ),
    'County COVID Data'[Date] = MAX( 'Campus Case Master'[Date] )
)

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards
Denis

The "Campus Case Master' and 'County COVID Data' are both linked by the HelperColumn. I've tried using the date as a link as well and get the same results. Also, I tried the formula you sent. The error I recieve is "A function MAX has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed."
