Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please try something like below.

If the requirement is to show all the description names, CONCATENATEX DAX function might help.

 

LOSS_MIT_STS_ShowAll =
CONCATENATEX (
    FILTER (
        SERVICE_REFERENCE_DETAIL_VW,
        SERVICE_REFERENCE_DETAIL_VW[CODE] = "207"
    ),
    SERVICE_REFERENCE_DETAIL_VW[CODE_DESCRIPTION],
    ", "
)

If this post helps, then please consider accepting it as the solution to help other members find it faster, and give a big thumbs up.

Apologies , Let me be clear then , I have a table (EX :A) which stores information of the codes and respective descriptions example i pasted table above. and I also have another table (EX:B) and i need to bring only descriptions in to table B , as my model do not have join between A&B tables i am creating a new column in table B and using above calc lookup function to get description using lookup code.
