Hi
I am having problems creating a calculated column based on a column in a different table using the 'contains' function. I either get an error or '[List]'. I want to create a field in tablea that is based on values from fields in tablea and tableb. tablea and tableb are joined on a many to one relationship.
tablea *:1 tableb
I want something along the lines of:
if contains(tableb[field1], "x") then "new"
else tablea[field1]
endif
With the result to look like the image below:
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
