Query Form? LOOKUPVALUE?

Apologies in advance, I'm a bit lost.

 

So I have a table with a date in it

and I want to filter another table for that date and return the % in that row.

Is it as simple as a LookUpValue?  Which isn't working for me even though I'm using related and I've modelled as related.  Or is that the problem?  Should be returning 15.5%.

Not sure why it isn't working but not being able to see the model I cannot be sure what is going on. That said, you should never use LOOKUPVALUE() except in very special circumstances. It isn't a good function. Performs horribly and maintains an Excel mindset bypassing the model advantages.


Try this measure:

Get Percent =
VAR varDate =
    MAX ( P6Date[Column1] )
VAR Result =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Planned P6'[Planned % Value] ),
        KEEPFILTERS ( 'Planned P6'[W/E Date] = varDate )
    )
RETURN
    Result
