Getting Column from another table by applying filter

Hello everyone, I have the following query:

 

I have table A and table B. Between tables A and B, I have a common field as a key, called Camp_ID.

 

Table A is my main data table. From table B, I need to filter the rows where the Category field starts with 'Spring*' and get the End_Date column from that table and bring it to table A.

 

How can I filter the data in table B and bring the End_Date column to table A? I would not need to have table B in the model, it is only for obtaining that field. Thank you!!

@Harvey85 , I suggest that you use Power Query to merge Table A and Table B, and then add the required columns from Table B using the Expand Columns function. This way, you will not need to include Table B in the model, as it is only necessary for obtaining the desired field.

Thanks @amitchandak for your kind reply!

One more question, if I had a list of IDs to filter instead of Category=Spring... how could I do?

Let's say I'd need to filter ID_Category 1, 5, 7... To modify the formula?

Thanks in advance!!
