A Tricky Join

I'm having some trouble joining two tables as described below.

Let’s take the first table as follows:

Table 1

Name

Date

John

02/15/2024

Andrew

02/20/2024

Thomas

03/10/2024

Clark

03/12/2024

Jefferson

03/25/2024

Peter

04/01/2024

Susan

04/10/2024

Anderson

04/20/2024

Mary

04/25/2024

Joe

04/30/2024

 

Now, let’s take the second table:

Table 2

              X

             Y

             Z

       Parameter             Date

1

02/01/2024

I need to add parameters X, Y, and Z to Table 1 as follows:

Table 1

That is to say, the field “Parameter Date” from Table 2 must be used to define the Parameters to be added to Table 1.

How can I do that?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe I am over simplifying but if that date matches between those two, simply rename the date field in one table to equal the date field in the other. If not, have you try IntervalMatch?

Hello Igor,

The Dates between the tables don't match. There's an interval in table 1 that will match one date in table 2. However, you gave a good tip: Using the IntervalMatch function. I'll try it. 

Thank you, mate.
