@sarahspowerbi it is not about reversing, read the documents and the example and apply in your solution.

If I try to reverse them, it does not give me the option to select a column from the Team Data Table, only San Fran Projects List data table.

@sarahspowerbi you are using wrong syntax, first column should be what value you want to return and 2nd two columns should be project name from the respective table, read more here LOOKUPVALUE function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
