    Hi,

    In the Order Details Table, create a calculated column to extract Year from the Date: Year = YEAR('Order Details'[Date]).  Assuming every Year and SKU record in the Cost Table is a unique combination, try this calculated column formula in the Order Details Table

    =LOOKUPVALUE('Cost'[Unit Cost],'Cost'[SKU],[SKU],'Cost'[Year],[Year])

    This formula should work without creating any relationship betwenn the 2 Tables.

    Hope this helps.

If the latest Cost values are still not available, how do I nest the LOOKUPVALUE to return the latest value available?

Please have the basic courtesy to thank me for helping you in the first place - it is just basic etiquettes.  For your second question, share both datasets (in a format that i can paste them in an Excel file) and show the expected result.
