    In this case go to Table A add a customer column and use the below formula in this column

     

     

    Table.SelectRows(tableb, (x)=> [data.entrynumber]>=x[from entry n] and [data.entrynumber]<=x[To entry n])

      Thank you, i find a problem, because the value in the table A is a value between the value in the column "form entry n°" and the value "To entry n°" in the table B. And sometimes the value (table A) may be not be explicit in the table B.
