Some Help with a conditional DAX lookup please
I have 2 tables, both of which contain a column named 'Site Number'.
I would like to create a column in one of the tables which looks up the 'Site Attribute Value' from the below table where the 'Site Attribute Name' is 'Region(5)', by 'Site Number'. The 'Site Attribute Name' column contains a myriad of different content.
In my head I am thinking of this as a 'conditional lookup' but not sure how to write the DAX to do this?
If anyone could offer a suggestion as to how to do this I would be eternally grateful :smileyhappy:
Hi Anonymous
Based on my understanding, i make a test as below.
1. Test data:
Sheet1
Site attribute name site attribure value site number region(1) LK 1 region(3) DF 4 region(5) L&HC 23 region(5) L&HC 24 region(5) L&HC 25 region(1) r 23 region(1) f 24 region(1) g 25 Sheet2
site number 1 4 23 24 25 2. Create relationships between two tables
3. Create a calculated columns in Sheet2
Column = LOOKUPVALUE(Sheet1[site attribure value],Sheet1[site number],Sheet2[site number],Sheet1[Site attribute name],"region(5)")

Thank you very much Maggie; that's done the trick. I wasn't aware you could add a condition to the end of the Lookup syntax so much appreciated
