The file I listed connects data from two tables. You can have more than one bridge table. The measures don’t have to be numeric as in my examples. And if you need to lookup one value in the other table in prefer to perform a column calculation you can use RELATED or LOOKUPVALUE to get it
Hello, I'm not sure I'm understanding the proposed approaches, and all my previous replies weren't posting properly. I'm trying to attach sample data, but it's not working. How do I do that? Essentially, i want to add columns to table one that would give the fees of the acquirer and target in year of transaction (column 1) and fees "year of transaction +1" (column 2). The only way to do this is to match the KEY and the YEAR between tables 1 and 2. But I don't know how to do this in Power BI. If it helps, i have lookup tables that each of the tables are connected to but the data tables are not connected directly.

Thanks Seward12533. My issue is that i need to calculate by matching TWO columns. Here's the sample file. As noted above, starting with Table 1, i need to match the CIK and the Year to teh CIK and Year in Table 2, and retrieve the fees. The two tables are connected via a bridge lookup table.
Thanks in advance!!!
