Help Needed with Lookup Function

[Mueez]

Hi,

I have a very simple code in calculated cloumns where I am using lookup value to get required information from another table.

=LOOKUPVALUE('Knock off details for AP'[Document No.],'Knock off details for AP'[Vendor Ledger Entry No.],'Vendor Ledger Entries'[Entry No.],'Knock off details for AP'[Entry Type],"Application")

It is giving me the following error: Calculation error in column 'Vendor Ledger Entries'[]: A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected. 

I have manually checked and if done right above syntax should give only 1 result. Can someone please guide where I'm getting the code wrong.

Regards,

Mueez

Hi @Mueez ,

I give an sample.

I have two tables like this.

--Table

--Table(2)

Then I create a calculated column in 'Table'.

The cause of the error is this, Table(2) has two values that are not aggregated.

You can do like this.

1. Create a calculated column in 'Table(2)'

2. LOOKUPVALUE()

For the criteria you provided in the LOOKUPVALUE function, there could be more than one value returned from 

'Knock off details for AP'[Document No.]. Please check the table 'Knock off details for AP'

@Fowmy Thanks for replying

I am pretty sure there are no duplicates because when I change code as following I stop getting error.

= LOOKUPVALUE ('Cancellation details for AP' [Document No.], 'Knock off details for AP' [Vendor Ledger Entry No.], <hard code entry number>, 'Knock off details for AP' [ Entry Type], "Application" )

But this is obvioulsy not what I want. The formula needs to iterate through each line in of the table.

Also, even if say there are duplicates. Isn't there way we can handle those?

@Mueez 

A column cannot contain two Document Numbers. That is not the right way. But, you can still do it using CONCATNATEX and FILTER functions
