How to: Matching Two Inputs Across Two Tables to Pull Data

How to: Matching Two Inputs Across Two Tables to Pull Data

I'm familiarizing myself with Zoho Analytics (ZA) and the 'advanced' features such as Query Tables, Lookup columns, etc.  As a MS Excel expert, I'm able to do just about anything with excel's built in formulas, but I've decided to take my love of data analysis to another level with ZA

I'm hoping someone can guide me in the right direction.  Here's a parallel example to my issue: 
I have two tables, "Warehouse Travelers" and "Merchandise Pricing".  We will refer to them as WT and MP.

WT: contains columns such as supplier of an item, SKU no., date received into stock, qty received, date shipped to customer.
MP: contains supplier of item, SKU no., item pricing.

Important Note: there are multiple suppliers for items of the same SKU number, so the SKU no. alone wont pull reliable SKU pricing data.  

My goal is to be able to add a lookup column to WT that accurately pulls the SKU no. price from MP and adds it to the respective record.  This must be done using two matching values (Manufacturer, SKU no) from each table.

Simply creating a chart that pulls and multiplies (displays) the numbers isnt what I'm looking for. So, please know I'm not asking how to use the formula function on the Y axis of a chart.  I need to be able to use this data for all types of Zoho Analytics reporting.


Would it be best to create a Query table instead?  If so, can you provide me an example of what the SQL Query would look like?

Ideally, I would prefer to add a lookup column containing the item pricing.  Then I would add a formula column multiplying the quantity and the item pricing.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to add this lookup column to WT based on matching two factors from WT to MP?  If a Query table is better, then I am begging someone to give me an example of what the SQL language might look like.

This example is a simplified version using common terminology that hopefully most people will understand.  If I used my industry specific terms, it would be a bit more difficult to read.  If I need to rewrite this example using even more understandable terms, please let me know.
