    I have solved it now with "CONCATENATE" (the Employee ID, Year and Month) and then with "LOOKUPVALUE". And it works 🙂

unfortunately this does not work either. Employee ID (= identifier for the employee) cannot be in a 1:1 relationship, because every month the employees are added.
So Brad Pitt always has employee ID 2, and then it does not work with this solution.

 

What I think that it must be work, there should be three new calculated columns (one each for "Company", "Contract" and "Contract type") in the table "Employee Table", where the three fields "Employee ID", "Year" and "Month" are used to find a match in the other table ("Additional Information table") and then the respective value (Company, Contract and Contract type) is transferred to each calculated column.

 

but what is the formula for this?
