Is merge in PowerBi only apply on current dataset or will that effect on future data?

So i have 2 dataset, table A and table B.

Table A always has new data come in everyday and it associate with a date column.

Table B is a dimension table and its temporary wont change. So, i need to create a visual and i need data from both table, so i decide to merge both table on PowerBI.

My question is if i merge the current data and next day if new data coming into table A, will it also have the data from table B? (depend on the complexity of my view, so sql side is the last thing i want to do) Here is the example for this question

Table A

IDNameDate
1Apple

1/1

2Banana1/1

Table B

IDNameSomething
1Appleaaaa
2Bananabbbb

The result i want to see

IDNameDateSomething
1Apple1/1aaaa
2Banana1/1bbbb

 

So on second day..thrid day...fouth day.....

IDNameDate
1Apple1/2
2Banana1/2
1Apple1/1
2Banana1/1

 

Will my result be like this?

IDNameDateSomething
1Apple1/2aaaa
2Banana 1/2bbbb
1Apple1/1aaaa
2Banana1/1bbbb

 

or it will look like this?

IDNameDateSomething
1Apple1/2 
2Banana1/2 
1Apple1/1aaaa
2Banana1/1bbbb
