Getting error message: The name 'LOOKUPVALUE' wasn't recognized. Make sure it's spelled correctly."

Hello, I am getting the following error message when using LOOKUPVALUE.

 

"The name 'LOOKUPVALUE' wasn't recognized. Make sure it's spelled correctly."

 

Here is the syntax of the formula in Power BI:

 

LOOKUPVALUE(DisruptionRTO[RTOScore],DisruptionRTO[TimeSinceDisruptionRTO],ImpactProfile[TimeSinceDisruptionRTO])

 

Image 1 is the ImpactProfile table.

 

Image 2 is part of the DisruptionRTO table.

 

I would be grateful for any help in solving this. Thank you!

@CamJohnston I expected this, you are adding a column in Power Query and LOOKUPVALUE function is a DAX function. You need to add a calculated column using DAX and that's where you will use LOOKUPVALUE

@CamJohnston what is the actual error? Are you adding a column or a measure?
