Hi here are an example
To start, I have this
Table A DateMax 14/05/2018 Table B Reference Date X 05/01/2017 Y 01/04/2018 Z 15/01/2016 I need to add the value of DateMax in Table A for each row of Table B like this
Table B Reference Date DateMax X 05/01/2017 14/05/2018 Y 01/04/2018 14/05/2018 Z 15/01/2016 14/05/2018
The ultimate goal is to compute the number of days between the two dates (I know how to do this last part) :
Table B Reference Date DateMax Days X 05/01/2017 14/05/2018 495 Y 01/04/2018 14/05/2018 44 Z 15/01/2016 14/05/2018 851 Thank you for your help

Hi Marc,
You can do it easily with DAX. If you want the Power Query solution, please refer to the snapshot below.
