Replicating vlookup in same table

Hi - apologies if I'm missing something really obvious here, but I'm struggling to replicate a Vlookup in Power BI.   I have a table with 3 columns, the first is a consecutive ID value for each row...

    Try this Column

     

    Column =
LOOKUPVALUE ( [Text String], [ID], [ID 2] )

    With Power Query, you can do a self merge of the Table

Hello,

 

I have a similar situation within a table that has a lot of columns and data also coming from other tables in a pretty complex model.

 

When I add that Merge step, followed by an Expand step, it causes my refresh to get hung and my report will no longer update.

 

I tried creating a simplified copy of the table to Merge and Expand from, but I am still running into the same issue.  

 

Any idea/suggestion?
