LookupValue with Filter
Hi,
Need help with DAX for below scenario
Scenario: Have TABLE1 and TABLE2, need to populate manager (in TABLE1) by having lookup (in TABLE2).
In TABLE2 i have multiple values for a single ID , i need to select the record where Type = MANAGER
Table 1
| Id | Manager |
| 1 | |
| 2 |
Table 2
| Id | name | Type |
| 1 | abc | Assistant |
| 1 | xyz | Manager |
| 2 | bcd | Manager |
| 2 | fgh | Assistant |
Regards

I know this is an older thread, but for future reference isn't it easier to just use the second lookup parameters of LOOKUPVALUE?:
LOOKUPVALUE(
'Table2'[Name], 'Table2'[Id], 'Table1'[Id], 'Table2[Type], "Manager")this is the only correct answer !
The approach I would explore in M Code, not DAX.. This can be done within the GUI interface
Create copy of Table 2
Filter for Manager only
Remove duplicates on ID, if eixists. This should provide you a table of manangers, their names and ID
Go to Table 1 and merge table 2 using ID as the key/lookup value.
- Thanks nagaraj
- That is working fine
- But have one concern while we used FIRSTNONBLANK()?
- CAN U PLZ LET US KNOW THAT
- What are the secnario we do it ?
Hi nagaraj ,
We can try to create a calculated column in 'Table 1' to meet your requirement:
Manager = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table 2'[name] ), 'Table 2'[Type] = "Manager", 'Table 2'[id] = 'Table 1'[id] )
Best regards,HI,
Thanks for the help, was able to resolve this using the below
Property_Manager = CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table2[Name],1),
filter(all(Table2),
Table2[Type] ="Property Manager" &&
'Table1'[Id] = Table2[Id]))
