Hi,

if you want to achieve this using dax:

New colunm = lookupvalue(TableA[HomeSubRegion],TableA[HomeLGA],TableB[OrigLGA])

Probably best to do this in Power Query directly, with a simple merge. Paste the two tables above in text-tabular format instead of ona  screen cap (so that table contents can be copied) and we'll work it out

After doing this I get many blanks in the newly created column. Why's that? I cross-checked and the values are not blank on columns of Table A or B. Kindly help.

Probably because there are HomeLGAs with more than 1 HomeSubRegion
