Lookup value from another table

Hi Experts

 

Not sure whats the best route tp tackle this, either via a lookup or related or related table function. I have two tables.

Table A Columns

Country_NM

Country_ISO_CD

 

Table B Columns

Country_Origin_ISO_CD

Country_Origin_NM

I want to lookup/Match from Table B Country_Origin_ISO_CD with column Country_NM in Table A and what the result is in Column Country_ISO_CD in Table A return that into a new column in Table B Country_Origin_NM.

    You can create a measure in TableB using DAX below:

     

    Column =
    LOOKUPVALUE (
        TableA[Country_ISO_CD],
        TableB[Country_Origin_ISO_CD], TableA[Country_NM ]
    )

    I've tried this, unsuccessfully, in Power Bi Desktop Version: 2.103.881.0 64-bit (March 2022).  Does the query or formatting need to be changed since the solution is about 2 years old?
