Create a table using latest available value

Hello everyone! I have two tables one is factual and the other is dimensional and I need to create a relationship based on the "Dojo" where the employees worked. In this scenario My dimension (Latest worked dates) table will not filter the factual (worked dates) table, on the contrary, I need to look up some values from the factual (worked dates) table.  See example below. 


One of the solution I come up for this is creating a bridge table, either by dax or query formula, but I have not been able to solve it yet. 

Please help me providing solutions on how to create an additional table that turns my dimension table  into a factual table that contains only the latest value found.

One of the tables is a factual table (working days), that refreshes every week, therefore It may update  employee working dojo / attributes  from one week another like this

Employee IDDojo WorkedWorking Date
1122Mcdojo29-Jan-23
2233Mcdojo29-Jan-23
1122DojoElite5-Feb-23
2233Mcdojo5-Feb-23
1122Mcppato12-Feb-23


On the other table, I have a factual table including only one entry for each employee that contains the last date they worked. 

Employee IDLast Date WorkedLast Dojo Worked
11226-Feb-23?


Desired Factual Table

Employee IDLatest Dojo WorkedLatest Date Available
2233Mcdojo5-Feb-23
1122Mcppato12-Feb-23

Hope this helps:  However, in your data 

Employee IDLatest Dojo WorkedLatest Date Available
2233Mcdojo29-Jan-23 ------> this is incorrect the latest is 5-Feb-23
1122Mcppato12-Feb-23

Instead of MAX(), you may use MIN()
