Hello Team,
I need help creating a new column in a table.
My tables are as follows:
Table Stock_main:

28/01/2022 | Sugar | 5.00 |
28/01/2022 | Sugar | 4.00 |
28/01/2022 | Soda | 3.00 |
27/01/2022 | Chicken | 7.00 |
26/01/2022 | Chicken | 5.00 |
Purchasing table:
Date | des | Unit price |
03/01/2022 | Sugar | 10.00 |
01/01/2022 | Sugar | 8.00 |
01/01/2022 | Soda | 15.00 |
01/01/2022 | Chicken | 100.00 |
31/12/2022 | Chicken | 110.00 |
I need to vlookup the latest unit price in the table Stock_main from the purchasing table.
I appreciate your help.

@Anonymous , a new column in Stock_main
MAxx(filter(Purchasing, Purchasing[des] =Stock_main[Description] && Purchasing[Date] <=Stock_main[Date]) ,Purchasing[Date] )
Hi @Anonymous ,
It required bit of modelling where you need to create a calender table and join these table with it.
Then create a column as below:-
latest_unit_Price =
VAR _max_date =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Purchasing table'[Date] ),
FILTER (
'Purchasing table',
'Purchasing table'[description] = Stock_main[Description]
)
)
RETURN
CALCULATE (
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Purchasing table'[Unit price] ),
FILTER ( 'Purchasing table', 'Purchasing table'[Date] = _max_date )
)
