Merging data from one table to another

Hello - 

 

I have 2 tables in my model that I am trying to 'merge' the data together.  I am looking to pull one data element from Table1 and put it in Table2.  The two tables have a relationship based on the Transaction ID (but both tables are joined to a calendar table so I cannot make this relationship active).  The tables are very large, so I do not really want to use a calculated column in the table.

            Table 1			                     Table 2	
Transaction ID	Asset		Transaction ID	  Approval Date
AAA123	        1		     AAA123	    1/1/2018
AAA123	        2		     AAA345	     2/1/2018
AAA123	        3			
AAA345	        4 			

So I am trying to get the approval dates into Table1 the most efficient way possible, without causing performance issues in my report.  (Table 1 has millions of rows of data).

 

Thanks for any help

If the tables are not linked with the relationship then you can use below method 

 

LOOKUPVALUE = LOOKUPVALUE(Table2[Approval Date],Table2[Transaction ID],Table1[Transaction ID])

Use the function Related = RELATED(Table2[Approval Date])

Hey @Kasunpathirana I cannot get this to work because the relationship between the 2 tables is not active.  Power BI will not let me make it active due to both tables being joined to the Calendar table.

If the tables are not linked with the relationship then you can use below method 

 

LOOKUPVALUE = LOOKUPVALUE(Table2[Approval Date],Table2[Transaction ID],Table1[Transaction ID])
