Replacing a column based on a reference table

Need your help, 

 

I have 2 tables as below and I want to have the "final " or just simply add a column to Table 2 to match with the 'Interval' column. So the basic idea is reading the Table 1 and filling the column 'Time' in Table 2 based on its corresponding interval (or if not possible, creating the Final table)

I need this to be done in Edit Query.

Man Thanks

 

Table 1

TimeInterval
12:00:00 AM1
12:30:00 AM2
1:00:00 AM3
1:30:00 AM4
2:00:00 AM5
2:30:00 AM6
3:00:00 AM7
3:30:00 AM8
4:00:00 AM9
4:30:00 AM10

 

Table 2

IntervalPower
1100
2200
3150
4300
5400

 

Final

TimePower
12:00:00 AM100
12:30:00 AM200
1:00:00 AM150
1:30:00 AM300
2:00:00 AM400

@Alirezam you can do thru power query using merge or thru dax, here is how you do in DAX, set relationship between these two tables on internal, assuming interval value in table 2 is unique and when you set the relationship between these tables, table 2 is on one side of the relationship.

 

add a new column in table 1 using the following expression

 

New Power Column = RELATED ( Table2[Power] )

 

from here you can visualize this data as per your requirement.
