Hello, guysI am trying to retrieve a relevant "status" for Date/Time range for each row in Power Query. I have a History table with records, the History Value can be multiply values, I am looking to retrieve "Status" value.I am using two identical tables, one to retrieve the information, one that I retriefe the information from: LookupTable (Retrieve From): StatusTable (Retrieve To):However, I am getting error, that the "Key" matches to multiply values, however, it should be only one row due to the Formula.The formula is here: (let Key = [Key], NewValueStart = [History New Value Start] in Table.SelectRows(LookupTable, each Key=[Key] and [History Field]="status" and NewValueStart >= [History New Value Start] and NewValueStart <= [History New Value End Fixed]){0}[History Field Value]) I am using a similar formula in other reports without issues. I am able to resolve this issue in DAX:with this formula: Status = var CurrentStatus = maxx(filter('LookupTable','LookupTable'[Key]=TimeInGroups[Key] && 'TimeInGroups'[History New Value Start] >= 'LookupTable'[History New Value Start] && TimeInGroups[History New Value Start] < 'LookupTable'[History New Value End Fixed] && 'LookupTable'[History Field]="status"),'LookupTable'[History New Value]) RETURN IF(ISBLANK(CurrentStatus),"Not Assigned Yet",CurrentStatus)However, I wanna do it in Power Query, could you please help me resolve this issue?

Power Query LookUp (Time based)

Hello, guys

I am trying to retrieve a relevant "status" for Date/Time range for each row in Power Query. I have a History table with records, the History Value can be multiply values, I am looking to retrieve "Status" value.
I am using two identical tables, one to retrieve the information, one that I retriefe the information from:

LookupTable (Retrieve From):

StatusTable (Retrieve To):

However, I am getting error, that the "Key" matches to multiply values, however, it should be only one row due to the Formula.
The formula is here:

(let
Key = [Key], NewValueStart = [History New Value Start]
in
Table.SelectRows(LookupTable, each Key=[Key] and [History Field]="status" and NewValueStart >= [History New Value Start] and  NewValueStart <= [History New Value End Fixed]){0}[History Field Value])

I am using a similar formula in other reports without issues. I am able to resolve this issue in DAX:

with this formula:

Status = 
var CurrentStatus = maxx(filter('LookupTable','LookupTable'[Key]=TimeInGroups[Key] && 'TimeInGroups'[History New Value Start] >= 'LookupTable'[History New Value Start] && TimeInGroups[History New Value Start] < 'LookupTable'[History New Value End Fixed] && 'LookupTable'[History Field]="status"),'LookupTable'[History New Value])
RETURN
IF(ISBLANK(CurrentStatus),"Not Assigned Yet",CurrentStatus)

However, I wanna do it in Power Query, could you please help me resolve this issue?

vojtechsima okay. The direct translation of MAXX in PQ would be following. PBIX is attached

let
    a1 = Table.RenameColumns(let
        v1 = let
            v2 = Table.PrefixColumns(TimeInGroups, "a"),
            v3 = Table.PrefixColumns(LookupTable, "b"),
            v4 = Table.Join(v2, {"a.Key"}, v3, {"b.Key"}, JoinKind.LeftOuter, null)
        in
            v4,
        v6 = Table.SelectRows(v1, (v5) => Value.NullableEquals(v5[b.History_Field], "status")),
        v7 = Table.RenameColumns(v6, {{"b.History_New_Value_Start", "History_New_Value_StartB"}, {"b.History_New_Value", "History_New_ValueB"}}),
        v8 = Table.SelectColumns(v7, {"a.Index", "a.Key", "a.History_New_Value_End", "a.History_New_Value_Start", "a.History_Field", "a.History_New_Value", "a.Time_in_New_Value_businessHrs", "History_New_Value_StartB", "History_New_ValueB", "b.History_New_Value_End_Fixed"})
    in
        v8, {{"a.Index", "a1.Index"}, {"a.Key", "a1.Key"}, {"a.History_New_Value_End", "a1.History_New_Value_End"}, {"a.History_New_Value_Start", "a1.History_New_Value_Start"}, {"a.History_Field", "a1.History_Field"}, {"a.History_New_Value", "a1.History_New_Value"}, {"a.Time_in_New_Value_businessHrs", "a1.Time_in_New_Value_businessHrs"}, {"History_New_Value_StartB", "a1.History_New_Value_StartB"}, {"History_New_ValueB", "a1.History_New_ValueB"}, {"b.History_New_Value_End_Fixed", "a1.History_New_Value_End_Fixed"}})
in
    Table.RenameColumns(let
        v9 = a1,
        v11 = Table.SelectRows(v9, (v10) => v10[a1.History_New_Value_StartB] <= v10[a1.History_New_Value_Start] and v10[a1.History_New_Value_End_Fixed] > v10[a1.History_New_Value_Start]),
        v12 = Table.Group(v11, {"a1.Key", "a1.History_New_Value_End", "a1.History_New_Value_Start", "a1.History_Field", "a1.History_New_Value", "a1.Time_in_New_Value_businessHrs"}, {{"Status", (v13) => List.Max(v13[a1.History_New_ValueB])}}),
        v14 = Table.SelectColumns(v12, {"a1.Key", "a1.History_New_Value_End", "a1.History_New_Value_Start", "a1.History_Field", "a1.History_New_Value", "a1.Time_in_New_Value_businessHrs", "Status"})
    in
        v14, {{"a1.Key", "Key"}, {"a1.History_New_Value_End", "History_New_Value_End"}, {"a1.History_New_Value_Start", "History_New_Value_Start"}, {"a1.History_Field", "History_Field"}, {"a1.History_New_Value", "History_New_Value"}, {"a1.Time_in_New_Value_businessHrs", "Time_in_New_Value_businessHrs"}, {"Status", "Status"}})

The above is written to mimic the following SQL

SELECT a.[key],
       a.history_new_value_end,
       a.history_new_value_start,
       a.history_field,
       a.history_new_value,
       a.time_in_new_value_business_hrs,
       Max(b.history_new_value) AS [Status]
FROM   [dbo].[timeingroups] a
       LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[lookuptable] b
                    ON a.[key] = b.[key]
                       AND b.history_field = 'status'
                       AND b.history_new_value_start <= a.[history_new_value_start]
                       AND b.[history_new_value_end_fixed] > a.[history_new_value_start]
GROUP  BY a.[key],
          a.history_new_value_end,
          a.history_new_value_start,
          a.history_field,
          a.history_new_value,
          a.time_in_new_value_business_hrs

Hi, smpa01 ,
I did not resolve it in Power Query, I am able to resolve it in DAX, but I can't figure it out in Power Query, I sent either a PBIX file or sample data, could you please give me a hint on how to write the code in Power Query, please?
