lookup
I have a database with costs related to products
Product SubProduct Manufact_Cost Package_Cost Delivery_Cost
1 A 15 20 20
1 B 16 25 22
1 C 14 22 28
2 A 16 10 20
2 B 12 15 25
2 C 11 10 20
3 A 25 14 10
3 B 27 15 14
3 C 22 15 10
But I've been asked to have a filter by the Cost Type, so selecting Manufacturing, Package and Delivery, so one or multiple of these can be selected and displayed, summing over product or subproduct.
I have set up an indexed table called Cost Type to use as a filter but how do I lookup from my Fact table to my cost type table .
Index CostType
1 Manufact_Cost
2 Package_Cost
3 Delivery_Cost
Many thanks,

Hi LoNiCho
To have a filter by the Cost Type, you create the cost type table and you need relate the Fact table with the cost type table.
This also made me stuck in, fortunately, I find another method to achieve your goal.
The formula below will create a new table based on the fact table you provided, then we can have a filter by the Cost Type.
Table = VAR table1 = SUMMARIZE ( Sheet1, [Product ], [SubProduct], [Delivery_Cost], "Cost Type", IF ( [Delivery_Cost] <> BLANK (), "Delivery_Cost" ) ) VAR table2 = SUMMARIZE ( Sheet1, [Product ], [SubProduct], [Manufact_Cost], "Cost Type", IF ( [Manufact_Cost] <> BLANK (), "Manufact_Cost" ) ) VAR table3 = SUMMARIZE ( Sheet1, [Product ], [SubProduct], [Package_Cost], "Cost Type", IF ( [Package_Cost] <> BLANK (), "Package_Cost" ) ) RETURN UNION ( table1, table2, table3 )Best RegardsMaggie
