    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    If there are Unique IDs for [PROBLEM_ID] or [NUMBER_ID], this error message will be thrown. So the LOOKUPVALUE function is not suitable for this scenario. While the FIRSTNONBLANK function in the scenario which is equivalent to the LOOKUPVALUE will be Ok. If you need to show the blank value, you can create column but not a measure using the DAX below.

     

    Column 1= CALCULATE ( FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'INC_PROD'[CAUSED_BY], 1 ), FILTER ( 'INC_PROD', 'INC_PROD'[PROBLEM_ID]= 'PROB_PROD'[NUMBER_ID]))

     

    Best Regards,

    Amy

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Would you like to create measure using the FIRSTNONBLANK ? Then try the following formula. Or could you please share your sample data or desired output screenshots for further analysis? You can also upload sample pbix to OneDrive and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.

 

CALCULATE ( FIRSTNONBLANK ( INC[Boolean column], 1 ), FILTER ( 'INC', 'INC'[PROB_ID] = MAX(PROB[NUMBER_ID] )) )

 

Best Regards,

Amy
