DAX Information - LOOKUPVALUE function

Description

Returns the value in result_columnName for the row that meets all criteria specified by search_columnName and search_value.

Syntax

LOOKUPVALUE (
   <result_columnName>, <search_columnName>, <search_value>, 
   [<search_columnName>, <search_value>] …
)

Parameters

Sr.No. Parameter & Description
1

result_columnName

The fully qualified name of a column that contains the value you want to return.

It cannot be an expression.
2

search_columnName

The fully qualified name of a column, in the same table as result_columnName, or in a related table, over which the lookup is performed.

It cannot be an expression.
3

search_value

A scalar expression that does not refer to any column in the same table being searched.

Return Value

  • The value of result_column at the row where all pairs of search_column and search_value have a match.

  • If there is no match that satisfies all the search values, a BLANK is returned. In other words, the function will not return a lookup value if only some of the criteria match.

  • If multiple rows match the search values and in all cases result_column values are identical then that value is returned. However, if result_column returns different values an error is returned.

Example

= LOOKUPVALUE([Sport], [EventID],"E962")

This DAX formula returns the Sport corresponding to the EventID – E962.
