Correct cost date

Hello,

 

I have two different tables, historical cost items, and item movements.

The cost of items is updated over time:

I have item movements over time. How can I calculate a measure that gives me the correct cost date by quantity?

 

Example:

Thanks for the help.

@Anonymous , A new column in table 2

 

new column =
var _1 = maxx(filter(Table1, Table1[Date] <=Table2[Date] && Table1[Item] = table2[item]), Table1[Date])
return
maxx(filter(Table1, Table1[Date] = _1 && Table1[Item] = table2[item]), Table1[Cost])

Hi, @Anonymous 

Please check the below picture and the sample pbix file's link down below.

I tried to add some more data and created a sample like below.

Costs =
IF (
NOT ISBLANK ( [Qty Total] ) && ISFILTERED ( Dates ),
CALCULATE (
LASTNONBLANKVALUE ( Costs[Date], SUM ( Costs[Cost] ) ),
FILTER ( ALL ( Dates ), Dates[Date] <= MAX ( Dates[Date] ) )
)
)
