LOOKUPVALUE with AND's

Hey everyone!

 

I am trying to make us of LOOKUPVALUE. I have the following data:

 

Table1

EmployeeMonthInCalendarCount
Peter ParkerMarch 20215000
Bruce WayneMarch 20213000
Peter ParkerApril 20216000

 

Table2

EmployeeMonthInCalendarNewColumn
Peter ParkerMarch 2021 
Bruce WayneMarch 2021 

 

I am trying to use a LOOKUPVALUE that to copy the value only if the MonthInCalendar and the Employee is the same. I can't only check the name or the month as it would not produce the results I want. Is there a way to use the & to check both columns in the LOOKUPVALUE?

@Anonymous That is the default behavior of LOOKUPVALUE. All search pairs must be met. 

LOOKUPVALUE function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs

So, something like:

New Column = LOOKUPVALUE('Table1'[Count], 'Table1'[Employee], [Employee], 'Table1[MonthInCalendar], [MonthInCalendar])
