Lookupvalue with multiple results

Hi Everyone, I have the following table

ID / Target / Parent ID / Target from Parent ID

x / x / x / lookupvalue formula

The formula I used is Target from Parent = LOOKUPVALUE(DATA [Target],DATA [ID],DATA [Parent ID])

I got #Error as result. The table has arround 200k rows.

Basically what I looking is to get like a VLookUp for "Target from Parent".

 

Thanks!

    What is the error that you are getting? Are you getting back multiple results from your LOOKUPVALUE? You can try:

     

    MAXX(FILTER('DATA',[ID] = [Parent ID]),[Target])

      Hi,

      Thanks for that but it didn't solve my problem.

       

      I need like a VLookUp for the column "Target Feature ID 2" based on the value of column "Work Item ID" and return the value of "Targeted Release Form"

      So based on that I did 

      LOOKUPVALUE(COMBINED[Targeted Release Form],COMBINED[Work Item Id],COMBINED[Feature ID 2])
       
      But got the error of "A table with multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected"
       
      If you can solve this I will be in debt lol

        OK, now I am super confused becaues it looks like your Feature ID 2 always matches your Work ID in the same row so I am not sure what you are trying to do. 

         

        Please do the following:

        1. Post sample data as text using the table function in the editing bar. Just include the columns that are actually pertinent
        2. Post what you expect as output

         

        An explanation of the logic to get from a to b never hurts either. LucasRB90
