    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,

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,
Herbert

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
