When value is present in column, find matching value on another row and supply another column value

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm attempting to make a DAX that uses the member_id in the reports_to column, to lookup the title for that member ID so I can make a dynamic grouping based on Title of the member_id that people report to.

member_id	Reports_To	Title
Nhamilton		Business Manager
BMamrak	NHamilton	Admin
LGlickman	NHamilton	Admin
MHolland	NHamilton	Admin
SPrice2	NHamilton	Admin

This is just a small sample from the dataset, please let me know if I can help with any additional details.

Thanks,

Seth

Not sure I am 100% following but generally LOOKUPVALUE or MAXX(FILTER(...)...)

The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.

Appreciate your Kudos.

I tried the below, but getting "a table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected"

LOOKUPVALUE(v_rpt_Member[Title],v_rpt_Member[Reports_To],v_rpt_Member[Member_ID])

I'm trying to create a new column that basically has the "Title of reports to" or the title of the person they report to. My dataset has 492 rows with numerous different reports_to values, so that initial table is a small snippet. 

This is the result I would like to see (red text is new column that does not yet exist), and have it dynamically lookup the Title so that when folks change roles it uses the new reports_to member_id to lookup title.

member_id	Reports_To	Title	Title of Reports_to
Nhamilton		Business Manager
BMamrak	NHamilton	Admin	Business Manager
LGlickman	NHamilton	Admin	Business Manager
MHolland	NHamilton	Admin	Business Manager
SPrice2	NHamilton	Admin	Business Manager
Jclark		Sales Director
Scalkins	Jclark	sales	Sales Director
Akoon	Jclark	sales	Sales Director

Hope that helps clarify what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks for your help.

Hmm, maybe:

Column = 
  MAXX(FILTER('Table',[member_id] = [Reports_To]),[Title])

That gave me the same result for all rows. I figured it out with LOOKUPVALUE, I had one of the columns in the wrong place, when switched it properly had a single value and returned what I was looking for.

Column = LOOKUPVALUE(v_rpt_Member[Title],v_rpt_Member[Member_ID],v_rpt_Member[Reports_To])

Thanks for the original answer and help with this!

Sorry, guess I should have actually tested that code! :S
