      Logic : always "a" = "I" and "d" = "m" and "e" = a measure (n+o)

        Perhaps create a measure like:

         

         

        New Measure = 
          SWITCH(MAX('Table1'[codes]),
            "a",LOOKUPVALUE('Table2'[score],'Table2'[code],"l"),
            "d",LOOKUPVALUE('Table2'[score],'Table2'[code],"m"),
            "e",[measure],
            BLANK()
          )

    create a Bridge Table by enter data manualy:

    Code table1 Code table2
    a I
    d m
    e e

     

    create a relationshhips Table1 - bridge and table2 - bridge

    and add what you need to visual

  • Mvumelwano , create a new column in table1 like and then use that in lookup or join

    Switch(True(),
    [codes] = "a" ,"I" ,
    [codes] = "d" , "m",
    [codes] = "e" , "a" ,""
    )
