How to create a new column with the nearest greater date from another table in power query

Hi, 

I'm new to Power BI and looking to solve the following issue.

 

I'd like to be able to add a new column using M (or dax if that is the only way) to a table that looks up the nearest greater date from another table column, as below.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Ian

here is a DAX solution

Column = MINX(FILTER('Table (2)','Table (2)'[Date]>'Table'[date]),'Table (2)'[Date])
