This should be very simple, but I'm stumped.
I want to add a column by matching the current value of [Last Year-Week] and pulling in the associated [Sales] value


Year-Week
Last-Year-Week
Sales
2017-012016-01100
2017-022016-02200
2017-032016-03300
2017-042016-04400
2018-012017-01500
2018-02
2017-02600
2018-03
2017-03700
2018-042017-04800

<tbody>
</tbody>

to:

2018-032017-03700300
2018-042017-04800400

<tbody>
</tbody>

= Table.AddColumn(Source, "Previous Sales", each if [#"Year-Week"] = [Last Year-Week] then [Sales] else 0 )
No idea why this doesn't work
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Duplicate your query and then merge them together using the Year-Week from one query and Last-Year-Week from the other.
