    Hi OPS-MLTSD ,

     

    Try with this:

     

    Catchment2 = LOOKUPVALUE('user_catch-2'[EST_CATCHMENT_AREA], 'user_catch-2'[CREATED_BY], 'CA usage'[CREATED_BY], "UNASSIGNED")

    Hi OPS-MLTSD 

    You can do it on the first column directly, no need to create a new one:

    Catchment2 =
    VAR aux_ =
        LOOKUPVALUE (
            'user_catch-2'[EST_CATCHMENT_AREA],
            'user_catch-2'[CREATED_BY], 'CA usage'[CREATED_BY]
        )
    RETURN
        IF ( ISBLANK ( aux_ ), "Unassigned", aux_ )
