    rpinxt ,
    If the two tables are related to each other this will work.

     

    Measure =
    Var a = MAX(Sheet1[Flow]) = "Reworked"
    var b = MAX(Sheet1[Amt LC]) < -50
    var c = a && b
    var d = IF(c,MAX('Sheet1 (2)'[Quantity]), 0)
    return d

     

    Regards,

    Ashfiya

Anonymous thanks this is apparently working:

Now I have only output for the Flow Reworked.

Still have to study the code to grasp why the (excel) vlookup is done with Max but it is working.

 

Those 2 tables are linked together with 'FlowKey'.

Above you see this key. This is present in both tables.

Thanks for the help!

Anonymous  aiii I spoke to soon....

 

I put in some more detail and now it is not working anymore.

I had put in example on a higher level to make it better readable.

 

But now I only put in 1 extra field :

As you see the yellow lines are ok as the amount is less then -50
But the red line it is -42  which is more then -50 so that should not be 0

 

**EDIT**: ohhh never mind...complete losing the overview here....

Its -42.000 which clearly is more than -50....😖
Will experiment so more.

Maybe I do have to do a calculated colum as I notice it is really laggy because it needs to calculate each row.

Not sure if that will work with fields from 2 tables.

Maybe have to do a union if that is possible.....

 

Lots to experiment 🤣

    rpinxt ,
    Correct me if I am wrong, your condition is 

     

    IF

    flow = Reworked  AND Amt LC > -50 
    result = Show Quantity Value

    Else

    result = 0 (false )

      I was able to solve my problem 😁

      I merged the source with the excel file based on 'FlowKey'.

      Now I had everything in 1 table. Then with calculated columns it was easy(er) to get the amounts that I wanted.

       

      Thanks for your help
