I am trying to get a calculated column to return an alternative drop departure time.
I've created a column to give a unique route and drop ID for each row and I need to be able to return the planned departure time for the previous drop. My lookupvalue formula is giving me a "A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected." error
Any help appreciated
Solved! Go to Solution.
Resolved now - realised the uniqueID wasn't so unique so lookupvalue didn't work.
@Jebilaya just saw now that I missed your previuos reply. Sorry 🙂
Happy to see it was solved!
No worries - i'm new on my PowerBI journey so picking it up as I go.
I'm sure I will have other questions @SpartaBI - this community is really helpful
Resolved now - realised the uniqueID wasn't so unique so lookupvalue didn't work.
Not sure how to supply sample data @SpartaBI - can't see an attach option but i've put a table below
The DAX i'm trying to use is
So basically drop 2 should return the departure time of drop 1
