Lookupvalue returning error

Hi,

 

I have a table which has movements for all assets. 

For this one particular asset - 59397, I am trying to get the date it was last used and the lookup errors when I use the formula: 

 

LUp = LOOKUPVALUE(AssetMovementLine[CreatedDateTime], AssetMovementLine[New], AssetMovementLine[New]+1)

New is conactenating the AssetId and Rank.

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

In that case you can take 2 approaches:
1. make sure the [New] column you create is having unique values; something like [rank-asset_id] instead of just concatenating, 

2. Use the below DAX
LookUpDate = LOOKUPVALUE(AssetMovementLine[CreatedDateTime], AssetMovementLine[AssetID], AssetMovementLine[AssetID] , AssetMovementLine[Rank],AssetMovementLine[Rank]+1)

.

However I would suggest you to follow the 1st approach as the second one is bit performance costly .

Hope this helps your issue.

Hi , 

 

I am not sure what exactly your issue is, I tried replicating it in my end and it worked as normal. Providing the screenshot of it.

I am getting this possibly because there are more assets in the table?

In that case you can take 2 approaches:
1. make sure the [New] column you create is having unique values; something like [rank-asset_id] instead of just concatenating, 

2. Use the below DAX
LookUpDate = LOOKUPVALUE(AssetMovementLine[CreatedDateTime], AssetMovementLine[AssetID], AssetMovementLine[AssetID] , AssetMovementLine[Rank],AssetMovementLine[Rank]+1)

.

Hope this helps your issue.
