Joining tables with conditional statement using min and max

Hi, 

 

I have two tables. I would like to bring the column [Category] from table2, into table1. For my relationship I.D., I believe that I should use table1[Number] joined with a conditional statement for table2[Start Number] & table2[End Number]. 

 

I have provided an example below with table1 & table2. Table1[Goal Column] is what I am trying to do. As you can see, it's a one-to-many relationship, from table2 to table1, exept table2 must use two columns for the relationship I.D.: [Start Number] and [End Number]. The table2[Start number] is the minimum value and table2[End Number] is the maximum number. Any table1[Number] value between these values should have the appropriate table2[Category]. 

 

I appreciate your willingness to help me out!

Hi, @Anonymous 

Please check the below picture and the link down below.

It is for creating a new column.

Goal Column CC =
VAR currentwell = Table1[Well]
RETURN
CALCULATE (
MAX ( Table2[Category] ),
FILTER (
Table2,
Table2[Well] = currentwell
&& Table1[Number] >= Table2[Start Number]
&& Table1[Number] <= Table2[End Number]
)
)

Really appreciate the quick and correct response. I didn't know that you can create columns that import data from other views without a live table-to-table relationship.

 

Thanks again!
