Hi Everyone,
I have 2 separate table (Table1 and Table2) and would like to create a calculated column on the Table1 to return the value based on Table2 2columns.
Table1 | ||
Invoice | Items | Desired Output |
12345 | Banana apple grapes orange | Package1,Package2 |
123456 | apple orange | No Match |
123457 | Banana orange apple | Package2 |
Table 2 | ||
PackageType | ItemA | ItemB |
Package1 | grapes | orange |
Package 2 | banana | orange |
Many thanks for the help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can do this using a calculated column in Table1 that checks both ItemA and ItemB from Table2 and returns all matching package names.
Calculated column (Table1):
Desired Output =
VAR txt = LOWER('Table1'[Items])
VAR match =
ADDCOLUMNS (
'Table2',
"@pkg",
IF (
CONTAINSSTRING ( txt, LOWER('Table2'[ItemA]) ) &&
CONTAINSSTRING ( txt, LOWER('Table2'[ItemB]) ),
'Table2'[PackageType]
)
)
VAR result =
CONCATENATEX ( FILTER ( match, [@pkg] <> BLANK() ), [@pkg], ", " )
RETURN IF ( result = BLANK(), "No Match", result )
