Error in Dax Studio for a simple LOOKUPVALUE
I am new to PBI and DAX. I am using Dax Studio to explore some functions. I am trying to do a look up value on a simple table. The table is Users and it has 2 columns, Name and ClientID. This is my DAX formula that I have in the Studio editor
LOOKUPVALUE(Users[ClientID], [Name], "john smith")
When I run it I get this output
Thank you in advance

I'm guessing it wants a fully qualified column name.
Try this:
LOOKUPVALUE(Users[ClientID], Users[Name], "john smith")
Edit:
DAX Studio generally expects table output rather than measure output. You can get around this by turning your value into a table.
Try this:
EVALUATE {LOOKUPVALUE(Users[ClientID], Users[Name], "john smith")}

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried this and I am getting the same error. When I create a column in PBI desktop and input the formula there it all works fine. I am just trying to figure out how to use DAX Studio. I would prefer not to make a column when I test functions. I was hoping I could use DAX Studio as a playground to test around in
