I have two two tables (main and lookup) and want to get a value (task) from the lookuptable depending on product and date.
I was thinking of using Power Query or datamodel.
Any suggestion for how to solve this problem.

I think I found a solution. Maybe not the most sexy one but it work.
SELECTCOLUMNS(
topn(1;FILTER(factArbOppg;
factArbOppg[Lisens]=EARLIER(factOverdragelse[Lisens])
&& factArbOppg[Frist]>=EARLIER(factOverdragelse[Dato])
);
factArbOppg[Frist];
ASC);
"NewColumn";factArbOppg[Oppgavenavn])
Hi @nankerp
What is end of period? End of the year?
If so, try this for your column in DAX, where Table2 is your Lookup table:
NewColumnTask =
LOOKUPVALUE (
Table2[Task],
Table2[Product], MainTable[Product],
Table2[Date], ENDOFYEAR ( MainTable[Date] )
)
I think I found a solution. Maybe not the most sexy one but it work.
SELECTCOLUMNS(
topn(1;FILTER(factArbOppg;
factArbOppg[Lisens]=EARLIER(factOverdragelse[Lisens])
&& factArbOppg[Frist]>=EARLIER(factOverdragelse[Dato])
);
factArbOppg[Frist];
ASC);
"NewColumn";factArbOppg[Oppgavenavn])
