List.Max(AnotherTableName[ColumnName])

Greetings, @Zubair_Muhammad! Wanted to extend this post a bit and ask if you know how to use the List.Max to find the value that is <= to the current record's value?

For example, if I have a table like this called Data:

DateValue
10/1/21100
11/1/21200
1/1/22100

 

And a table like this called Commissions:

Change DateChange %
9/1/2110%
12/1/2115%

 

I want my M Query to return this in the Data table:

DateValueChange %
10/1/2110010%
11/1/2120010%
1/1/2210015%

 

I'm assuming I need to use the List.Max in some sort of "for each" loop.
