LOOKUPVALUE in Direct Query Calculated Column

DAX DAX Calculations

Hi guys,

Are we able to use LOOKUPVALUE in CalculatedColumn in Direct Query ?
The main issue I have right now is I have a master table which I cannot put relation to it, but one of my Fact Table need addition info which I can get from that master table.

And what is the workaround if cannot.

Thanks in advance,
Toni

Hi @Toni

Please check https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-directquery-about to find limitation of Direct Query.

One Limitations in calculated columns: Calculated columns are limited to being intra-row. So, Adding Column using Lookup from other table is not available.

For your case you can either use a join b/w tables in Source Query during extraction or use Merge inside Power Query to fetch required value from Master Table.
