LOOKUPVALE Formula stopped working

So I have this calculated column where I am using the LOOKUPVALUE formula to bring the record field text to another table (pretty basic). It was working fine, but suddenly now the calculated column is empty. I have not changed the formula and both columns are Text format. One for the data source is a salesforce object and another is an excel file.

 

i cannot understand what could be going on! I tried doing other lookupvalue formulas with other columns to test and they are not working either.

So I found the issue! I brought in a new data source (table called New Writer Master below) and when i created the relationship with my master Territories table I didnt noticed that it defaulted to Cross filter direction both. Once I changed this to single it worked again!

 

Thanks Vivran, your comment sparked the idea to look there.

Hello @Anonymous 

 

Not enough information to go on. Can you share the sample data/pbix file?

 

If these tables are realted, you could also try RELATED function to get the value.

 

Cheers!
