DAX help

  Hello everyone,   I have a following model in SSAS.     I want to add a new calculated column to Phase Totals table. Both the tables Phase totals and Job totals have a column called Job...

I modified the lookup formula that you gave and tried using it.

 

=LOOKUPVALUE(
    'Job Totals'[Cost],
    'Job Totals'[Job Number],
    'Phase Totals'[Job Number]
)

This worked okay except that I have a few blanks. I have multiple instances of the Job Number in Phase Totals table. Lookup is able to pull Cost from Job totals for all the repeated instances (it will be same value) but leaves some of those blanks. Can you think of any reason why I might be getting blanks?

That's odd... Can I assum that all the Job Numbers on the Phase table are also on the Job Totals table?

    Yes. You can assume that.

     

    In fact, it started working fine once I changed the relationship as follows. 

     

    Any ideas why?
