I have a table named A in which i have two column - date and sales - and i have another table B with three columns - start date , end date and category - where in table B I only have 4 rows for 4 categories.

So i want to add a column in table A such that if date in table A lies between Start date and end date of Table B then it returns category based on date range it lies in.

Hi,

Enter this calculated column formula in TableA

Category = calculate(max(TableB[category]),filter(TableB,TableB[Start Date]<=earlier(TableA[Date])&&TableB[End Date]>=earlier(TableA[Date])))

Hope this helps.
