LOOKUPVALUE to return Match or Not A MAtch
Hi Folks,
I have the following: Match = LOOKUPVALUE(Active[Employee Name],Active[Employee Name], Review[Full Name])
What I want to do is on my "Review" table add a calculated column to say it matches the name on the Active table name in the Employee Name field. So I want my result to me "Match" if its found or "Not a Match" if it isn't found.
I know how to write this if it were in Excel but I'm having logic issues here.
I originally had:
Match = IF(LOOKUPVALUE(Active[Employee Name], Active[Employee Name], Review[Full Name], False), "Match", "Not A Match")
but it didn't work. I know it's something I'm overlooking. Any help would be great please. Many thanks
Hi Anonymous,
Please try:
Match = IF ( LOOKUPVALUE ( Active[Employee Name], Active[Employee Name], Review[Full Name] ) = BLANK (), "Not A Match", "Match" )Best regards,
