    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]))

Hi, 

 

Thanks for your quick reply :smileyhappy:

 

sorry again, but i can´t show any data, because are sensitive and privileged information 

 

But what i want is show in a table the number_id from Table B and the cause that is related (Table A caused) to that number_id (if there is no information I want the field to appear blank).

 

it is possible to this in a measure ? if it is, i perfer in a measure, but if is not possible i can create a new colomun in table B is not a problem.

 

Thank you again for your help, very grateful :smileyhappy:

 

Best Regards, 

JO

Hi Anonymous ,

 

So your demand is lookup the matched TableA[prob_id] based on the filter TableA[prob_id]=TableB[number_id], if not exist , return the blank, right? If yes, you can try the measure below.

 

Measure1 = IF(ISBLANK(LOOKUPVALUE(TableA[caused],TableA[prob_id],MAX(TableB[number_id]))),

BLANK(),

LOOKUPVALUE(TableA[caused],TableA[prob_id],MAX(TableB[number_id])))

 

Best Regards,

Amy

    Hi v-xicai , 

     

    first of all, thank you very much again for your help :smileyhappy:

     

    i try the following measure:

     

    IF(ISBLANK(LOOKUPVALUE(INC_PROD[CAUSED_BY], INC_PROD[PROBLEM_ID], MAX(PROB_PROD[NUMBER_ID]))), 
                        BLANK(), 
                        LOOKUPVALUE(INC_PROD[CAUSED_BY], INC_PROD[PROBLEM_ID], MAX(PROB_PROD[NUMBER_ID]))
)

    but show me a error :smileysad: : "A Table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected"

     

    I can not understand what I'm doing wrong because each inc_prod (number_id) may or may not have a prob_id and may or may not have an inc_prod (caused_by), but when it has a value associated with prob_id this prob_id is the id of the table prob_prod (number_id).

    Your formula to me makes perfect sense, but I can not understand where I'm failing.

     

    Sorry for the inconvenience, do you have any idea how to solve this? 

     

    Best Regards,

    JO

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      Did you create relationship between the two tables first of all? Based on my test, it worked fine.

       

      Best Regards,

        Hi v-xicai 

         

        I created the relation between each table but the relation is inactive because each table is linked to a calendar table

         

        Best Regards (and thank you again)
