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.

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
