Compare two tables and fill column with information when results match

Hello all,

 

I have two tables:

one named Sites where I have:

ItemDepartmentProvinceDistrict
482964LoretoMaynasTapiche
741852LoretoUcayalaContamana

 

and another one called Geocode where I have:

UbigeoDepartmentProvinceDistrict
160509LoretoMaynasTapiche
160601LoretoUcayalaContamana

 

Goal:

I need to have the Ubigeo colum in the Sites table. The Ubigeo value from the Geocode table must be copied to the Sites table when the Department, Province and District values match between the tables. 

 

ItemDepartmentProvinceDistrictUbigeo
482964LoretoMaynasTapiche160509
741852LoretoUcayalaContamana160601

 

 

Notes:

  • The Geocode table has 1874 possible combinations of Department / Province / District and the resulting Ubigeo for each (Every distric in Peru has its unique Ubigeo).
  • The Items table has 500 items where the Department / Province / District can be duplicated for some of the items.

Can someone help me acchieving this result?

Thank you in advance!!!

Create a new column in the table1

new column = maxx(filter(table2,table1[Department] = table2[Department] && table1[Department]=table2[Department] && table1[Department] = table2[Department]), table2[Ubigeo])

Hi @amitchandak thanks, but it is not working:

 

Custom column ->
maxx(filter(Sites[Department] = Geocode[Department] && Sites[Province]=Geocode[Province] && Sites[District] = Geocode[District]), Geocode[Ubigeo])

 

Error: Token Literal Expected below the highlited section above:

The table name is missing in filter

 

maxx(filter(Geocode,Sites[Department] = Geocode[Department] && Sites[Province]=Geocode[Province] && Sites[District] = Geocode[District]), Geocode[Ubigeo])
