converting table by distributing values

Dear All,

I have a table that looks like this (TABLE1):

CodeGroupValueDate
1abc100015/06/2024
1xyz150030/06/2024
2abc200010/07/2024
3xyz300015/07/2024
4abc100001/06/2024
4abc50002/09/2024
5xyz10003/09/2024

 

What I want to achieve is: for certain codes I want to distribute the value based on percentages within the month.

 

I have another table that control percentages and it looks like this (TABLE2):

Start CodeStart Code DescriptionEnd Code%
2Fruit140
2Fruit460
3Grocery120
3Grocery430
3Grocery550

 

This means that Code number 2 values will always be splitted throught the end codes (1 and 4) with certain percentages.

 

What I want to achieve through PowerQuery is converting TABLE1 as follows:

CodeGroupValueDate
1abc100015/06/2024
1xyz150030/06/2024
1FRUIT80010/07/2024
1GROCERY60015/07/2024
4abc100001/06/2024
4FRUIT120010/07/2024
4GROCERY90015/07/2024
4abc50002/09/2024
5GROCERY1500

15/07/2024

5xyz10003/09/2024

 

The transformed TABLE1 is presenting distributed values as per TABLE2 while original codes that have been distributed are no longer shown.

 

I'm struggling with this a lot 😞
