Return matched values
Dear altruists,
I have a column with many values which can be increased, such as;
Column 1
Apple
Pear
Kaki
Avocado
etc...
These values I want to find in another column, for multiple values add a sign , such as "/". Ther power query I am looking for is Result column
Column 2--------Column Result
Apple is red--------Apple
Orange, Apple is orange--------Orange/Apple
Avocado, kaki goes bad--------Avocado/kaki
Kaki is yellow--------Kaki
Can any one help pls?
regards
I have taken your sample set and produced the below output
I created TBL1 which has Columns 1 and TBL2 which has the Column 2 containing text within which Column 1 is to searched.
The Custom column was created using the below Transformation step
If the solution matches your requirement, please let me know I will upload the PBIX file
