    Hi Myshydde ,

     

    If I understand you’re question. You’re looking for something like this?

    I add an extra search value in the LOOKUPVALE() to match the first criteria. In the first line were checking the rule code and supplier, if they match with Data[Code]. We return the NewCategory. Otherwise the DefaultCategory.

    Example:

        IF(
        LOOKUPVALUE(Rules[Code], Rules[SupplierIDCode], Data[SupplierIDCode], Rules[SupplierID], Data[SupplierID]) = Data[Code]
        ,
        LOOKUPVALUE(Rules[NewCategory],Rules[Code],Data[Code]) & "From Rules"
        ,
        LOOKUPVALUE(Suppliers[DefaultCategory],Suppliers[SupplierID],Data[SupplierID])
    )
