(Day linked to WeekDay to Weekday to TariffType)

Im trying to create a calculated field in the HoursUsed table that multiplies Hours Used Column by Cost Column (based on day of week and time of day)

If i do it with just time and not the day of week its

=TariffCost[Cost]*HoursUsed[Hours Used]

I think i need to use the filter function to filter the TariffType table or possibly the DayOfWeek table but am unsure how to use it in power query

Any suggestions/further reading, new to power query and everything im googling is not helping

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

I'm a BIG proponent of Power Query and the Data Model, but this is one place where a simple XLOOKUP would do fine.

E2:E73E2=WEEKDAY([@Date])
F2:F73F2=XLOOKUP([@[Time Of Day]]&[@Weekday],tblRates[Time]&tblRates[Weekday],tblRates[TariffType])

The trick is to combine the two parameters needed into one.

That said, no reason that you couldn't do the same with Power Query (Data Model not really needed).
Using Power Query bring in the Tariff Table and add a Weekday-Time column:
Power Query: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="tblRates"]}[Content],
    ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Weekday", Int64.Type}, {"Time", type time}, {"TariffType", type text}}),
    AddedWeekdayTime = Table.AddColumn(ChangedType, "Weekday-Time", each Text.From( [Weekday] ) & "-" & Text.From( [Time] )),
    ChangedType1 = Table.TransformColumnTypes(AddedWeekdayTime,{{"Weekday-Time", type text}})
in
    ChangedType1
Same with the Times table, and then merge them:
Power Query: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="tblTimes"]}[Content],
    ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Time Of Day", type time}, {"Hours Used", Int64.Type}, {"Weekday", Int64.Type}, {"TarrifType", type text}}),
    AddedWeekdayTime = Table.AddColumn(ChangedType, "Weekday-Time", each Text.From( [Weekday] ) & "-" & Text.From( [Time Of Day] )),
    ChangedType1 = Table.TransformColumnTypes(AddedWeekdayTime,{{"Weekday-Time", type text}}),
    MergedtblRates = Table.NestedJoin(ChangedType1, {"Weekday-Time"}, tblRates, {"Weekday-Time"}, "tblRates", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    ExpandedTariffType = Table.ExpandTableColumn(MergedtblRates, "tblRates", {"TariffType"}, {"TariffType"})
in
    ExpandedTariffType
Certainly more applicable if the Times table is updating regularly.

Lovely, the example above is only a snippet so i have thousands and thousands of lines in the tables but that worked a treat. i'll have a play.
