DAX Measure using Lookupvalue in Excel Pivot Table

Copper Contributor

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to create a measure in Excel Power Pivot that will return the Total value for filtered rows in based on whether the column matches a value in another table. The formula I have is below.

 

=SUMX('Table1',LOOKUPVALUE([$ Allocation],Table1[Cost Centre Owing],MAX('Table2'[Cost Centre])))

 

This measure is syntactically correct however when I add the measure to my pivot table I get the message:

The query did not run or the data model could not be accessed. MdxScript(Model) (6, 57) Calculation error in a measure 'Table1'[Owed] A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected

 

Can you please explain why this is occurring as I've wrapped the MAX function around the search value to make sure it's a single value. Thank you!
