Getting the right exchange rate

Hi Guys,   I have a table full of timecards. I have a table full of exchange rates. My exchange rate table has a start date (no end date). Each timecard has a date on which it was submitted. Each t...

    You can try with these two formulas. If it still can't work, please give us a sample with all the columns and some data.

     

    RatesWeWant = 
LOOKUPVALUE (
    'Exchange Rate'[c2g__Rate__c],
    'Exchange Rate'[Currency name], 'Timecard Split'[CurrencyIsoCode],
    'Exchange Rate'[OwnerCompany], "Y",
    'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c], LASTDATE (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c] ),
            'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c] < 'Timecard Split'[pse__End_Date__c]
        )
    )
)

     

    RatesWeWant = 
LOOKUPVALUE (
    'Exchange Rate'[c2g__Rate__c],
    'Exchange Rate'[Currency name], 'Timecard Split'[CurrencyIsoCode],
    'Exchange Rate'[OwnerCompany], 'Timecard Split'[OwnerCompany],
    'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c], LASTDATE (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c] ),
            'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c] < 'Timecard Split'[pse__End_Date__c]
        )
    )
)

    Best Regards,

You might look at generating your exchange rate table such that it includes all dates with the appropriate exchange rate. Then you could do a simple relationship. Failing that, you should be able to do a "lookup" to the exchange rate table to find the MAX date that is less than the date in your timecard.

    Hey Greg_Deckler,

     

    Can't create a relationship I'm afraid, but I did try the lookup... Keeping it simple to begin with and exclusing the dates part (New to using lookups)

     

    I have used this -> Exchange rate = LOOKUPVALUE('Exchange Rate'[c2g__Rate__c],'Exchange Rate'[Currency name],'Timecard Split'[CurrencyIsoCode])

     

    I was hoping this would just give me an exchange rate as a test, but I assume that this isn't working because it is returning multiple values?
