May be this:

IF([Status]= 'Unauthorized',Applymap ('Losses',[ID],Dual('N/A', 0)) + Applymap ('gains',[ID], Dual('N/A', 0)),0) as lookup;

Could you share your full script?

Why you are using this?

IF([Status]= 'Unauthorized',Applymap ('Losses',[ID],'N/A') +Applymap ('gains',[ID],'N/A'),0) as lookup;

It seems [ID] is not loaded in first load, if it is not, you cannot use in top load!

Digvijay is correct - the preceding load consumes the output of the following load, and ID is not part of that output, but the ApplyMaps are not required as you have them in the bottom load already.


Just use

LOAD *,

IF(Status = 'Unauthorized', Losses + Gains, 0) as lookup;

LOAD ...
