This is the code Csalinas144
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("ddJLDoIwEAbgu7AmKTNtAQ+gK9m6IawMMRiFjS68vVNo6c8rodASvs6D1nVCSZqc++fwk2clg6y7ydDKKs54mubTtEnrhFeA2YNCEQchcx2JBnKRYUIMypRc3rgFR2Tk1e37ug9vrygEMoDMwrh9q67vrsNj8GpOz8Z6rCqjyV1yr/bd9p9QkZ4DMQRiiqjYIuNRrmgOJHPoXLlAYyNcJJ5qZwuNYGCnnaKCO86QsqMfOzZsjiULaCARdn2sy+2j/Zd0xHiZ4wYyQjgZpDfxCJhGZoCZ9SEkKM6ggkaS3ckSoT2CyzNyWbscXeFd8wc=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Purchase Order Number" = _t, #"Product Name" = _t, Gender = _t, Age = _t, Quantity = _t, Date = _t, #"Ship Date" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Ship Date", type date}}), #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin( #"Changed Type", {"Product Name"}, Prices, {"Product Name"}, "Prices", JoinKind.LeftOuter ), GetPrice = Table.AddColumn( #"Merged Queries", "Price", each let varDate = [Date] in try Table.Max( Table.SelectRows( [Prices], each [Date] < varDate ), "Date" )[#"Price per Unit(US$)"] otherwise 0 ), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(GetPrice,{"Prices"}) in #"Removed Columns"Note that the first record returned 0 becuase there was no price set for March 5, 2021. Prices didn't start until March 10.
Here is the PBIX though. It will be much clearer what I did since there are two tables involved.
Csalinas144 it would help if you would provide data we can use, and a screenshot of the desired results. Greg_Deckler solution may work in the DAX/Power BI side, but you posted this in Power Query and refer to queries.
You could merge table b into a, but I don't know what you are expecting the results to be, so very hard to come up with a viable solution.

How to provide sample data in the Power BI Forum - Provide data in a table format per the link, or share an Excel/CSV file via OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.. Provide expected output using a screenshot of Excel or other image. Do not provide a screenshot of the source data. I cannot paste an image into Power BI tables.

I apologize I am new to this and I will improve in the future Greg_Deckler edhans
The result that I am wanting is to return the price of an item based off the latest pricing change.
I am a bit vexed on this to begin.
I originally wanted to do all this in the power query editor. We can Start with that.

Csalinas144 - can you please post some data? You are expecting us to help you by typing in all of that stuff you posted above in a image.
1) Post data per these links. It will let us copy and paste it into a table in Power BI.
2) Provide a screenshot (mocked up in Excel is fine) of the expected results.
Now, I kind of get #2 above, so that isn't a huge deal, but if you had posted data as I requested 4 hrs ago you'd have an answer.
Without data, here is what you do:- Merge table A to Table B using the product name column.
- Extract the latest price using the Table.Max() function based on the [Date] in a calculated column. Include the [Price per unit] piece, then get the value using {0}
Make sense?
Or, post some data. 😁How to get good help fast. Help us help you.
