VLOOKUP from seperate table

Hello,

I need to add additional columns to MainTable to add FYDetails for the four columns shown below. If it was in excel I'd do a vlookup to pull the details through. I'm not sure what the best approach would be to merge the tables or to use relatedtable function or something different.

Many thanks in advance 😃

Hi @Shelley-Baynton ,

 

Please try the LOOKUPVALUE function.

For example,

MainTable

vstephenmsft_0-1676017103200.png

FiscalCalTable

vstephenmsft_1-1676017110679.png

There's no relationship between tabls. Create a calculated column in MainTable.

Column = LOOKUPVALUE('FiscalCalTable'[String],FiscalCalTable[Date],'MainTable'[Date])

LOOKUPVALUE function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
