Comparing 2 columns from same table to another table

New to Power BI

 

This seems very easy but I can not figure out.

I have 2 tables A and B       I can not relate them.   I  need to add column "Lookup" to Table B.  Lookup comes from Tabe A  

See above for tables       

 
Table A   Table B  
FruitColorAmt FruitColorLookup
AppleR5 AppleR5
OrangeO2 OrangeO2
PeachO7 PeachO7
PairR8 PairR8
    BerryF 
    AppleR5
    OrangeO2
    PairR8

@MikeLombardi - Try LOOKUPVALUE or MAXX(FILTER(...),...) like:

Lookup Column = 
  LOOKUPVALUE('TableA'[Amt],'TableA'[Fruit],[Fruit],'TableA'[Color],[Color])

or

Lookup Column = 
  MAXX(FILTER('TableA','TableA'[Fruit]=[Fruit] && 'TableA'[Color]=[Color]),'TableA'[Amt])
