Post ProdigyLookupvalue equivalent to search for text values
Super UserAssuming you want to return the full data LOOKUPVALUE works fine with text if you only want part of tge value you need to use SEARCH.

Post ProdigyHow does that work? Assume I have two tables:
Table1 Table2
Product name Amount Product name Discount
A 100 A 10%
B 200 B 12%
LOOKUPVALUE(Table1[Amount],Table1[Product name],Table2[Product name]) doesn't work for me complaining that the third argument needs to be scalar value. I need to write something like LOOKUPVALUE(Table1[Amount],Table1[Product name],MAX(Table2[Product name]) ), but this doesn't work either because Product name is not numeric field. Am I loosing something here?
- MFelixHi gvg,
You are making a measure right? In dax you can use max and.min also with text fields, so if.ypu use the.last sintax should work.- gvg
OK, it works for a standalone measure. My problem was that I've been using it as part of another formula.
Thanks!

Hi @gvg,
This sould work even as part of another measure depending on the way you set up your measure.
Can you please elaborate how you are doing that?
