Object assignment with only one start date and end Date in the same column

Hello everyone,

I have two documents, in the first document is the start date and the name of the object and in the second document is the power consumption for each day. Now I have to connect the two documents so that I can prove in the second document which object has used the power at what time.

e.g.:

second Docmuent:

DatePower consumptionStart DateObject Name
1.1.2020101.1.2020Object1
2.1.20200 Object1
3.1.202020 Object1
4.1.2020154.1.2020Object2
5.1.20205 Object2
6.1.202025 Object2
7.1.20200 Object2
8.1.202010 Object2
9.1.2020109.1.2020 
10.1.202020  

So as you can see I only have the start date, the start date of the next object is also the end date.

The first Dokumnet looks like that:

Object NameStart Date
1.1.2020Object 1
4.1.2020Object 2
9.1.2020Object 3

I already created the column Start Date with "lookupvalue" and now I just have to create a column containing the object name. I would like to do this because I want to calculate the average power consumption per object.

 

Many thanks in advance!

Greetings Luaks

Somehow I can't insert a column from another table to filter there.

Does anyone know why the code doesn't work in Power Bi?

 

Hello @Anonymous 

 

you are referring to table 2 only.
