Hi, @flintstone 

 

You could create a postcode-state table, and then establish a one-to-many relationship between your dimension table and the fact table,

and then you can use the RELATED function to get the state information in the fact table.

mapped to State =
RELATED ( 'Postcode-State'[STATE] )

I created a simple sample to illustrate this, please allow me to use the reference information provided by @amitchandak 

Sample:

Postcode-State table:

Another table without State:

v-angzheng-msft_1-1619689831648.jpeg

There is a one-to-many relationship between two tables.

Result:

Please refer to the attachment below for details

 

Is this the result you want? Hope this is useful to you

Please feel free to let me know If you have further questions
