Lookup from the same table

[CarlsBerg999]

Hi, 

My data looks like the picture below. What i need to do is a calculated column (green), where each Child gets the name of the Parent.

- Each Child has a Parent 

- The Parent column works as a lookup for the ID column in the same table 

What i have so far is: 

CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Name]),
FILTER('Table','Table'[ID]=EARLIER('Table'[Parent])))

--> This produces empty values. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Hi, @CarlsBerg999 ;

You could use column or measure by dax:

COLUMN = 
 CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Name]),
FILTER('Table','Table'[ID]=EARLIER('Table'[Parent])))

Measure = 
 CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Name]),
FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[ID]=MAX('Table'[Parent])))

The final show:

Try this .... 

Goal =

VAR myparent= SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Parent])
