    Hi Anonymous 

     

    It takes time to scan so many rows while using Table.SelectRows, please try Table.Group suggested by CNENFRNL edhans 

     

    you need to put the code offered by CNENFRNL after your currentLookUp = [UniqueValue] like this and paste in the custom column

    =let 
  currentLookUp = [UniqueValue] 
in
  Table.Group("LookUp", "UniqueValueCol", {"Grouped", each _}){[UniqueValue=currentLookUp]}?[Grouped]?{0}?[CategoryValue]?

If you can share some data we could be of more help Anonymous . See links below. You are going to have to use Table.Group as CNENFRNL recommends. It is the only way to get decent performance. See this article by ImkeF if you are interested in more details. 

 

As you've discovered, you cannot just do an effective VLOOKUP column on a large data set. Power Query bogs down. it isn't designed to work that way.
