    Hi Anonymous 

     

    I think this is something to do with the sequence of events in PBI. Looks like calculate columns are calculated before the relations are enforced. In your case, the formula tries to return an entire column where a single value is expected.

     

    The measure below (created as Measure, not a Calculated Column!) does what you seem to need:

    Username = 
var TEMP_ID = CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[Method])) 
var U_Name = CALCULATE(MAX(Table2[U_Name])) 
var D_Name = CALCULATE(MAX(Table3[D_Name])) 
return
if(TEMP_ID=1, U_Name, D_Name)

     

     

    Kind regards,

    JB

Hi Anonymous 

leave tables no relationship,

Then create a calculated column in Table1

Column =
IF (
    Table1[Method] = 1,
    LOOKUPVALUE ( Table2[U_Name], Table2[Temp_Id], Table1[Temp Id] ),
    LOOKUPVALUE ( Table3[D_Name], Table3[Id], Table1[Temp Id] )
)
Best Regards
