help with calculated column

Hello, I need help with a calculated column.   I have a table, call it "Table1" with unique values per category, see example below:

category value
a30
b40
c50

 

Then I have another table, call it "Table2" like the one below:

 

week numcategoryvalue
10a34
11b45
12a67
13b89

 

I have to create a new column in Table 2 where I add the corresponding value of Table 1 only once, only in the first row, not in each row. how can I achieve it in power bi?

I am thinking perhaps:

 

Column in Table2 = 
  VAR __Category = [category]
  VAR __MinWeek = MINX(FILTER(ALL('Table2'),[category]=__Category),[week num])
RETURN
  IF([week num] = __MinWeek,LOOKUPVALUE('Table1'[value],'Table1'[category],__Category),BLANK())

Create these two new columns in table 2

Count = countx(filter(table2,table2[category]=earlier(table2[category]) && table2[week num] <=earlier(table2[week num])),table2[week num])

from table 1 = maxx(filter(table1,table2[category]=(table1[category]) && table2[Count]=1),table1[value])

 

Appreciate your Kudos.
