I have two tables. One like below with unique values up to 300 rows.
| Table 1 | 
| xyz | 
| abc | 
| dce | 
I have another table table 2 with text column like below.
| Table 2 | 
| xyz_yzx_123 | 
| def_cba_12 | 
| dce_abc_123 | 
| abc_11 | 
I need o/p if the column in table 2 contains the strings in table 1. The o/p must be. I can do it with if and or but I have to manually enter 300 values. Hoping there is an easy way. Thanks.
| Table 2 | O/p | 
| xyz_yzx_123 | Yes | 
| def_cba_12 | No | 
| dce_abc_123 | Yes | 
| abc_11 | Yes |

Hi @San_eve ,
Please create a new calculated column:
Column = 
IF (
    SUMX (
        'Table 1',
        IF (
            SEARCH ( 'Table 1'[Column1], 'Table 2'[Column1], 1, 0 ) > 0,
            1,
            0
        )
    ) > 0,
    "Yes",
    "No"
)Best Regards,
