Table Viz with DAX Calculated Dimension Column

[Matthew1900]

Hi All - I would greatly appreciate thoughts on the below issue that has stumped me. 

I am attempting to create a simple table viz in PBI Desktop that includes a calculated column from one table based on a LOOKUPVALUE formula referencing columns in a separate table. The logic is to look for a certain value from Table 1 in one column of Table 2, and, if found, transform it to the corresponding value in a different column of Table 2. If the value is not found in Table 2, the calculated column is populated by the original value from Table 1. 

Calculated Column Formula:

Custom Sales Campaign Name = LOOKUPVALUE(

  Table2[New Campaign Name],Table2[Existing_Taxonomy],Table1[Campaign],Table1[Campaign])

Result:

In a simple table visualization, the values are not correctly displaying when I only include the Calculated Column from Table 1 in the table; however, when I also include the referencing column (i.e. Table 2[Existing_Taxonomy]) from Table 2, the data appears correctly. 

Does anyone have any insights on why this might be happening? Thanks so much in advance for any guidance and expertise on this!

Hi  @Matthew1900 ,

I created some data:

Table1:

Table2:

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create calculated column.

Calculated Column Formula =
var _Table1=
SELECTCOLUMNS('Table2',"1",[Group])
return
IF(
'Table1'[Group] in _Table1,
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table2'[Amount2]),FILTER(ALL(Table2),'Table2'[Group]='Table1'[Group]))
,'Table1'[Amount])

2. Result:
