How do I get a single value based on three queries that need to match

Hi,

I have two tables (1 and 2) - I want to match details in Table 1 with Table 2 to get unique value (result)?

There will be many combinations - each with a unique result.

Hi @DianneB ,
yes that makes sense.
Looks like an (Excel) Lookup. In Power Query you do this with a Merge of the 2 tables:
Go to table 1 and merge table 2 to it on the 3 key-columns  like described here: Merge queries (Power Query) (microsoft.com)
or here: Advanced Excel Power Query - Merge Queries with 3 Lookup Columns - YouTube
Then expand the Emission Factor column.

I don't understand your request. Specifically: What is the logic behind the desired result/unique values

Hi and thanks for your comment - let me try and explain a bit further and this time I will use the actual data query.

 

What my ultimate aim is to find the applicable emission factor based on three parameters - tank type, fuel type and weather zone.  The emission factor will vary depending on these three parameters.

 

On one table, I have site details which will list the three parameters and on another table I have the emission factors listed for each combination possible for these three parameters.  A site can have only one weather zone but can have multiple tank types and fuel types.

 

I have highlighted below what the result should be for a few examples.  Does this make more sense?  There are many more tank types and fuel types that I have not listed, but once I get the logic and formula correct (with your help if possible), I can accordingly adjust.
