LOOKUPVALUE to return Match or Not A MAtch

[Anonymous]

Hi Folks,

I have the following: Match = LOOKUPVALUE(Active[Employee Name],Active[Employee Name], Review[Full Name])

What I want to do is on my "Review" table add a calculated column to say it matches the name on the Active table name in the Employee Name field. So I want my result to me "Match" if its found or "Not a Match" if it isn't found. 

I know how to write this if it were in Excel but I'm having logic issues here. 

I originally had:

Match = IF(LOOKUPVALUE(Active[Employee Name], Active[Employee Name], Review[Full Name], False), "Match", "Not A Match")

but it didn't work. I know it's something I'm overlooking. Any help would be great please. Many thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

Please try:

Match =
IF (
    LOOKUPVALUE ( Active[Employee Name], Active[Employee Name], Review[Full Name] )
        = BLANK (),
    "Not A Match",
    "Match"
)

Best regards,
