    Hi MoMrCrane 

     

    You can try to create a translation table manually. Click on the Home tab and select Enter Data. In the pop-up window, enter the mapping of the old unit name to the new unit name. For example, like this:

    OldUnit  NewUnit
    AT266 AT265-02
    OldUnit2 NewUnit2

    Create a one-to-many relationship between the translation table and the Legacy_MRC_INVOICE_DETAILS table.

    Then create a calculated column in the Legacy_MRC_INVOICE_DETAILS table using the following DAX:

    TranslatedUnit = 
    LOOKUPVALUE(
        UnitTranslation[NewUnit],
        UnitTranslation[OldUnit], 'Legacy_MRC_INVOICE_DETAILS'[Unit],
        'Legacy_MRC_INVOICE_DETAILS'[Unit] 
    )

     

    Best Regards,
