Hi@einas.ibrahim

Done.

I had the same issue, just use one of the two functions, and don't over-read into the above explanation too much, Location wasn't mentioned in the explanation if that makes sense, so the problem you are looking to solve might not be the same, and you might need to use a function.

Care to explain a little more? Here is my issue:

I have a list that provides roles (name and code). I have data that provides employee and their role. In order to do a LOOKUP, I need to have my dimension as a list. Under the module that has the data, do I need an additional Line Item that associates the Role list to the Employee data?

Thank you

Happy to help.
We are trying to organize the forums to make it easier for the community members when looking for answers. It seems like your issue is slightly different from the original issue of this post. It might even be for a completely different training.
Please:

  1. Post the issue in a new topic
  2. If this is related to any of the trainings (L1, L2), then it is best to post it under the "Academy & Training" Forum instead of the "Anaplan Platform" forum. However, that's not very important for now.
  3. If this is related to a training then provide the training step number or a link to the instructions. Also, make sure the title of the post clearly relates to the question topic.

In relation to your specific question:

Some clarifications are needed. Please clarify which are your modules (source and target if you can), a Lookup is not done on a list, but rather a module.
I believe if you arranged your information as I did in the screenshot below, It will be easier for you to form the question more clearly and for us to answer. You might even find the solution yourself.:smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Focus on the top 2 lines only for now.

I'll be looking out for your independent post. Please make sure you mention me so I get notified.

Good Luck
