Tables are linked via "Code"

Table B

Code201920202021
A143
B254
C365

Create a calculated column...

 

Value = SWITCH(TRUE(),
                  FORMAT('Table A'[Date], "yyyy") = "2019", LOOKUPVALUE('Table B'[2019]'Table B'[Code]'Table A'[Code]),
                  FORMAT('Table A'[Date], "yyyy") = "2020", LOOKUPVALUE('Table B'[2020], 'Table B'[Code], 'Table A'[Code]),
                  FORMAT('Table A'[Date], "yyyy") = "2021", LOOKUPVALUE('Table B'[2021], 'Table B'[Code], 'Table A'[Code])
)
 
Hope it will work for you.
