Hi PBI community,
I was hoping maybe you can help me. I'm trying to convert this Excel function into Power BI without success
Here is the Excel Test Data
This is what I've created and I'm stuck
Max_Sq = LOOKUPVALUE(PlannedStart[Export_Index],PlannedStart[UID],'Table'[UID])
Could you please help me out?
Much appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @Stuznet
For the example of tables you have created, you can create the measure as follows.
Max_Sq =
IFERROR (
IF (
'Table'[Type] = "Actual Start",
LOOKUPVALUE ( PlannedStart[Export_Index], PlannedStart[UID], 'Table'[UID] ),
IF (
'Table'[Type] = "Actual Finish",
LOOKUPVALUE ( PlannedFinish[Export_Index], PlannedFinish[UID], 'Table'[UID] ),
BLANK()
)
),
BLANK()
)
Result:

If I misunderstand the your thoughts, please inform me of your expected output. I am glad to solve the problem for you.
Best Regards,
Allan
