Power Query: Search Rate of Employee from External Linked Query

[Nicole Jones]

I am at a loss as how to return the Rate of an employee that corresponds to the transaction date.

My query has the Employees Name multiple times as their rate has changed over the years, each entry has a Start and End date to define when the Rate is/was current for.

Can someone please help me with a new column formula to look at the employees name, then pull the rate for the employee when the transaction date lies in between the start and end date.

There are two queries. the Transaction Query with the hours booked giving the transaction date, and the second is the Rates Query that houses the rates over the years.

Sorry this is so confusing

@Nicole Jones , why don't you make up some sample of your data?
Providing that your data are consistent (you don't have gaps between end and next rate start date , you don't have transactions outside of rates schedule) then basing on sample data from your last topic:

let
    rates = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="rates_table"]}[Content],
    rename_rates = Table.RenameColumns(rates, {"Start", "Transaction Date"}),
    transactions = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="transactions_table"]}[Content], 
    combine_sort = Table.Sort(rename_rates & transactions, {"Employee Name", "Transaction Date"}), 
    fill_down = Table.FillDown(combine_sort, {"Rate"}), 
    filter = Table.RemoveColumns(Table.SelectRows(fill_down, (x) => x[End] is null), "End")
in
    filter
