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"
)
