Lookup Value Query

Hello All,

I have 2 tables as follows:

Table 1

Month     Year             URL                         Unique Visitors(Search Engine)

 

 

Table 2

Month     Year             URL                         Unique Visitors(All sources)

 

I want to pull the "Unique Visitors(From all sources)" from Table 2 to Table 1 for the avaiable URLs of it.

LOOKUPVALUE('Table 2'[Unique Visitors(From all sources)],'Table 2'[URL],'Table 1'[URL])
This is the query I used, but it is showing error "A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected".
What I can think of is as a particular URL is repeted in different months of different year - I am getting this error.
How can I solve the issue?
Regards
Utsav

Hi, @utsavlexmark 

Based on your description, I've created the following two tables:

table1:

table2:

vjianpengmsft_1-1724381925685.png

Using the DAX expression you provided does bring up the problem you mentioned, as shown in the image below:

To do this, I've changed the expression to look like this, and I've matched the corresponding 'Table 2'[Unique Visitors (All sources)] with the month by URL:

Column 2 = LOOKUPVALUE(
		'Table 2'[Unique Visitors (All sources)],
		'Table 2'[URL],
		'Table 1'[URL],
		'Table 2'[Month],
		'Table 1'[Month],
		0
	)

Hello,

This is working for me, but there is a small issue and I think you can guide me.

As per your suggestion - column 2 is working, but I had to select "Don't Summarize" option from setting. But if that happened - the total is not showing.

How to solve this?

Regards

@utsavlexmark use firstnonblank() to lookup, the error is due to availability of multiple matches for your keys
