Comparing Values From Different Non-Related Tables

Hi All, I have a query that I can't seem to figure out. Do to one of my tables having information and not having a relationship with other I wanted to see if there is someway I could compare the two tables to get the information I am wanting. This doesn't explain it well so I will post what I am wanting.

 

SR_Service Table

TicketNbrUrgencyIDSLA_RecIDResolution_Hours
12322272 
12322395 
12322474 

 

SR_SLAPriority Table

SR_RecIDUrgencyIDResolution_Hours
2710
2820
2930
5750
58100
59150
4720
4830
4940

 

Basically what I am wanting is to create a new column in the first table to compare the frist two values with the second table and pull the resolution hours. Is that possible like this:

 

SR_Service Table

TicketNbrUrgencyIDSLA_RecIDResolution_Hours
1232227210
12322395150
1232247420

You should try to relate them. What I would do is create a composite key by concatenating two fields into 1 and joining the two tables together on the newly created fields.

 

UrgencyId & SLA_RecID = 7 &"|"& 2

 

UrgencyID & SR_RecID = 7 &"|"& 2

@slounsbury you should try the function LOOKUPVALUE, in this link there's a explanation of how it works

I hope it helps you.
