Hi all,
I am looking for Power Query solution for the task below (Duplicate rows based on the values from a table)
Row to be duplicated
| No | Type | Cost |
| 1 | E1 | 1 |
| 2 | E2 | 2 |
Look up table
| Type | Code |
| E1 | A |
| E1 | B |
| E2 | C |
| E2 | D |
| E2 | E |
Expected results
| No | Type | Cost | Code |
| 1 | E1 | 1 | A |
| 1 | E1 | 1 | B |
| 2 | E2 | 2 | C |
| 2 | E2 | 2 | D |
| 2 | E2 | 2 | E |
Thank you in advance for your help

It works like Charm. Thank you so much.
I am trying now to test with more complex data table
