Difficulty with formulas

Hi everyone.

I am new in Power BI and experience difficulties.

I have 2 tables.

First one contains one column with unic numbers.

The second one contains 3 columns: number_from, number_to , text_string.

I need to serch the second table and return the text_string if the number is between number_from and number_to.

Please help with DAX formula or data modeling!

If you want a measure, something like this:

MeasureW = VAR _num = SELECTEDVALUE(TableOne[Column1])
RETURN
CALCULATE(MIN(TableTwo[text_string]) , 
  FILTER(TableTwo, TableTwo[number_from] <= _num && TableTwo[number_to] > _num ))

 

You would pull the number column from the first table on to a table visual, then add the measure.

Let me know how it goes.

 

Also, next time please post data and desired result for faster answers.

Thanks! Works!

Is there a possibility to do the same in Power Query?

Thanks a lot! Works great!

Do you think it will work for calculated column?
