Hi,
I created a "MaximumValue" column on my first able which pulls the highest "Value" from the second table for a specific Product. However, i also want to add a column to my first table called "NameOfHighestValue" as a DAX function. I used the LookupValue function, but i keep getting an error and wont work. Any help is appreciated.
NameOfHighestValue= lookupvalue(secondtable[name], secondtable[value], max(secontable[value]))
Any guidance will be great. Thank you.

Here is the formula to add as a column to firsttable to fetch the name:
NameOfHighestValue =
VAR T1 =
FILTER(
secondtable,
secondtable[Product] = firsttable[Product]
)
VAR __MaxValue = MAXX(secondtable[Value],T1)
VAR __Name =
MAXX(
secondtable[Name],
FILTER(
secondtable,
secondtable[Product] = firsttable[Product] && secondtable[Value] = __MaxValue
)
)
RETURN
__Name
