Matching values instead of lookup value

Hey gurus 🙂

 

I have two table, one with SKUs 

 

and other table with the first few letters SKUs and description of SKUs

 

How can I match the full SKU to the one with the first few letters, in a new column to get the description

 

example:

 

Table 1 SKU: AZ-PPP-12 

Table 2 SKU: AZ-PPP  -> Hardware Part

 

How can table 1 read that AZ-PPP-12 is  hardware part?

 

Thanks a million

@Anonymous , Create a new column in tables 1

 

maxx(filter(Table, containsstring(Table1[SKU], Table2[SKU]) ) , [SKU Desc] )
