Look up using date range

I know this has been covered a bunch of times. But I can't seem to understand exactly how to set it up. Essentially I have an expense report, and I want to do a look up by employee number to see what...

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    My error forget to change all the names that I used in my example this should do the trick:

     

    Job title =
CALCULATE (
    FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Employee Dynamic'[Job Title]; 1 );
    FILTER (
        ALL (  'Employee Dynamic' );
         'Employee Dynamic'[EmployeNumber] = 'Travel 2019'[Employee]
            && 'Employee Dynamic'[Date Start] <= 'Travel 2019'[Date]
            && 'Employee Dynamic'[Date End] >= 'Travel 2019'[Date]
    )
)


Budget Group = 
CALCULATE (
    FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Employee Dynamic'[Budget Group]; 1 );
    FILTER (
        ALL (  'Employee Dynamic' );
         'Employee Dynamic'[EmployeNumber] = 'Travel 2019'[Employee]
            && 'Employee Dynamic'[Date Start] <= 'Travel 2019'[Date]
            && 'Employee Dynamic'[Date End] >= 'Travel 2019'[Date]
    )
)

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Try adding the following two columns:

 

Job title =
CALCULATE (
    FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Employee Dynamic'[Job Title]; 1 );
    FILTER (
        ALL ( Budget );
        Budget[EmployeNumber] = 'Travel 2019'[Employee]
            && 'Employee Dynamic'[Date Start] <= 'Travel 2019'[Date]
            && 'Employee Dynamic'[Date End] >= 'Travel 2019'[Date]
    )
)


Budget Group = 
CALCULATE (
    FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Employee Dynamic'[Budget Group]; 1 );
    FILTER (
        ALL ( Budget );
        Budget[EmployeNumber] = 'Travel 2019'[Employee]
            && 'Employee Dynamic'[Date Start] <= 'Travel 2019'[Date]
            && 'Employee Dynamic'[Date End] >= 'Travel 2019'[Date]
    )
)

Believe the naming of columns is correct should work as expected.

I can understand most of the DAX (Even though I suck at formulating it myself) but I dont Really understand the circled part in this SS. It did return all errors for this one too unfortunately.
