Calculation from a lookup table with default

I have two tables, an aggregated table(AggrTbl) and another table (Lkup) is a lookup table. They are separate now but can be joined by Staff Name. I need help in calculating the Cost.

In the AggrTbl, I need to check if StaffName exists in Lkup table. If the StaffName exist, then i need to the corrosponding Rate. Then multiply Rate times AggrWklyHrs. If StaffName does not exist in Lkup table, then I have a default rate of 50. What formula should I use for Cost in the AggrTbl ?

Try something like this:

Cost =

VAR varLookup =
    LOOKUPVALUE (

         Lkup[Rate];
         Lkup[StaffName]; AggrTbl[StaffName]

    )

RETURN
IF (
    varLookup <> BLANK();
    varLookup;
    50

)
