Jason               1-3-2018         1-5-2018         ? I want here the result 3

 

Hi,

 

I have 2 tables without relationship and i want the following formula:

search Table2 fullname in Table1 fullname and if there's a match give me the result of Table1 Frequency in Table2 Frequency.

the problem here is that in Table2 are multiple values of Jason and in Table1 one value.

 

kind regards

  • It really sounds like you did that as a Measure and not a Column. I just confirmed this works. I just did a couple Enter Data queries with your data and created a Column in the 2nd table with that formula.

    I would think a calculated column in table 2 along the lines of:

     

    Column = LOOKUPVALUE('Table 1'[Frequency],'Table 1'[Fullname],'Table 2'[Fullname])
