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]
        )
    )
)

Thank you for your reply, I've been playing around with the calculated column solution idea you provided above, here is what im using:

 

Exchange rate = 
lookupvalue(
            'Exchange Rate'[c2g__Rate__c],
            'Exchange Rate'[Currency name],'Timecard Split'[CurrencyIsoCode],
            'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c],LASTDATE(
                    FILTER(
                          all('Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c]),
                                  'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c]<'Timecard Split'[pse__Start_Date__c]
                )
        )
)

This returns the error - A Table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected -> any ideas on fixing this?

 

Edit - Other than that I think you've cracked it, if the calculated column will display all values for every time card then this would be awesome! I can see in your screen shot that some of the values are blank, shouldn't the 'rateswewant' column for the first row return the value 0.94?

 

Thanks

This Morning I tried copying and pasting your code directly instead of writing it myself and I still get the same error about 'a table of multiple value was supplied where a single value was expected', using this code:

 

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

 

Still trying to figure out a fix for this, any help appreciated guys

 

Thanks

    If you change “<” into “<=”, the first row would return 0.94.

     

    If you have duplicated rows like this in your “Exchange Rate” table, you would encounter this error. If you have other columns which can make the lookup unique, you can add them to the Lookupvalue function like this: Exchange Rate = lookupvalue({parameters we already have}, ‘exchange rate’[ColumnName], ‘Timecard Split’[ColumnName]).

     

    If error still persists, could you please provide some sample data in your table to us?

     

     

    Best Regards,

      Hello again Herbert! v-haibl-msft,

       

      You are correct and there is a simple way to make these unique which I had left out! (apologies) The other filter criteria that will finish this would be to only return currencies within the exchange rate table that have OwnerCompay = "Y" 

       

      This is because we have different exchange rates for each of the subsidaries however I already have a column that would filter this out, I had a play myself trying to fit this extra piece of criteria into the code but to no luck, any advice on where it would fit? 

       

      Thanks for the =< tip, feel silly for asking now, it was obvious!

       

      Thanks

      Hi v-haibl-msft,

       

      Hopefully the additional criteria of Ownercompany ="Y" should provide us with a solution that returns a single value insted of multiple!

       

      If there is someone that could help add in this extrapiece of criteria here that would be fantastic, I tried adding another Filter function but to no avail. 

       

      If we are still in a pickle after this final iteration I'll be posting a sample of the data :)

       

      Thanks
