LOOKUPVALUE unexpected blank value

Hello, I need to determine person rank based on estimated full year performance. I tried to use an approach from this post but not fully working in my case Solved: Lookup closest value to a number - Microsoft Fabric Community

 

Here is sample result of my report:

Wolf01_0-1698672900001.png

 

  • Rank 2023 is rank gained for 2023
  • Rank limit is a limit for rank gained for 2023
  • Full year performance is annualized YTD performace
    • Full year perfotmance = CALCULATE(SUM('Person'[YTD performance])/MONTH(TODAY())*12)
  • Estimation of Rank Based on Full year performance
    • This is the problematic column. What I want to do is determine Rank based on Full year performace. Basically, take the Full year performance, connect it with rank table (provided below) and print Rank.
    • Estimation of Rank Based on Full year performance =

var Full year perfotmance = CALCULATE(SUM('Person'[YTD performance])/MONTH(TODAY())*12)
var lowerRange = maxx(filter(all('Rank limits'[Rank limit]), 'Rank limits'[Rank limit] < Full year performance), 'Rank limits'[Rank limit]')
return LOOKUPVALUE('Rank limits'[Rank], 'Rank limits'[Rank limit]' , lowerRange)

  • lowerrange is result of var lowerRange
    • lowerange =

var Full year perfotmance = CALCULATE(SUM('Person'[YTD performance])/MONTH(TODAY())*12)
var lowerRange = maxx(filter(all('Rank limits'[Rank limit]), 'Rank limits'[Rank limit] < Full year performance), 'Rank limits'[Rank limit]')
return lowerRange

  • lower range without var syntax is another problematic column where I do not understand the results. I would expect the same result like from lowerrange measure
    • lower range without var syntax = maxx(filter(all('Rank limits'[Rank limit]), 'Rank limits'[Rank limit] < CALCULATE(SUM('Person'[YTD performance])/MONTH(TODAY())*12)), 'Rank limits'[Rank limit])

Table relations:

Person[PersonID] 1<->1 ChosenPeople[PersonID] (one-to-one)

ChosenPeople[Rank] *<->1 Rank limits[Rank] (many-to-one)

 

These are data from Rank limits table:

Rank

Rank limit

R7

1 681 000

R6

1 155 000

R5

825 000

R4

600 000

R3

0

R2

0

R1

0

R0

0

 

My questions are:

1) Why I do not get the results I am expecting (see the picture above, red writing) and I have blank values?

2) Why does measure lower range without var syntax give blank values? Is it related to problem number 1?

 

Thank you for help and forgive me if I am missing something obvious 🙂

Hello, does anybody have an idea how to solve my issue? Description and sample file posted below.
I would appreciate any idea. Thank you!

@Wolf01 ,
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Hello amitchandak, thank you for your interest. Here is pbix file with anonymized data:

I have several problems with the report. I created several pages where I try to demonstrate the problem.

 

Note: I want to show results just for people from ChosenPeople table. Therefore there is a „all pages“ filter with their IDs.

 

Page1:

  • Why there are not results for each row for Estimation of Rank Based on Full year performance measure?

Page 2:

  • Why there are not results for each row for lower range without var syntax measure and why are there more (duplicated) rows? I thought it is just lowerrange measure rewritten without var syntax.

Page 3:

  • There is measure Annual performance above/below limit which works fine. But if I use Annual performance above/below limit_v2 where i want to subtract 100%, duplicated rows for all IDs (ignoring report filter) appear. Why?

Page 4:

  • I want to use Result measure. Again, more people and duplicate rows appear.

 

I was able to solve problem from Page 1 by adding duplicate Limit tables somehow but I do not consider it as elegant solution. I have no idea what to do with the rest. I am afraid I am doing some kind of basic mistake 😊

 

Thank you very much for your time and help.
