filtering with unconnected table

Hi all

I need to make my calculated colomn filter on valid_from and valid_to in a unrelated tabel. My plan was to add datesbetween after value_id filter, to retrive correct value to correct dateperiod. but this doesen´t work

 

Any ides?

 


tabel1 this is my goal.

some_stuff  date some_value     calculated colomn (code below)
a2020100110100
b2020100110150
b2020110110100

 

table2 the other table

valid_from      valid_to     value_id  some_value
2020100120991231110
2020100120201031215
2020110120991231210

 

calculated colomn =
'tabel1'[somevalue]
     * SWITCH (
           TRUE (),
           'tabel1'[some_stuff] = "a",
               CALCULATE (
                     MIN ( 'table2'[somevalue] ),
                     'table2'[value_id] = 1
               ),
               'tabel1'[some_stuff] = "b",
            CALCULATE (
            MIN ( 'table2'[somevalue] ),
             'table2'[value_id] = 2,
          )
)

@Anonymous , Try a new column like this in table 1

 

maxx(filter(table2, ((Table1[some_stuff] ="a" && table2[value_id] = 1) || ( Table1[some_stuff] ="b" && table2[value_id] = 1 ))
&& Table1[date] >= Table2[valid_from] && Table1[date] <= Table2[valid_to] ), Table2[some_value])

For the sake of clearity.

table 1 col date has 8 digits, cant get the col some_value to respect col dates space. I guess col some_value realy want´s a date : )
