Hello, @Anthony_Nguyen 

let
    data = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUXIFEYZKsTrRSkYgLogwUoqNBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [No = _t, Type = _t, Cost = _t]),
    lookup_table = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcjVU0lFyVIrVgTKdIEwjINMZwXRBMF2VYmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Type = _t, Code = _t]),
    lookup_gr = Table.Group(lookup_table, {"Type"}, {{"Value", each _}}),
    lookup_record = Record.FromTable(Table.RenameColumns(lookup_gr, {"Type", "Name"})),
    join = Table.AddColumn( data, "lookup", each Record.FieldOrDefault( lookup_record, [Type], #table({"Code"}, {{"not found"}}))),
    expand = Table.ExpandTableColumn(join, "lookup", {"Code"}, {"Code"})
in
    expand

It works like Charm. Thank you so much.

I am trying now to test with more complex data table
