Dear all, good morning.
I am trying to check if a value in one column appear in another one. The issue I am currently facing is that the column may contain multiple values and I would need to check these one by one.
Below is the situation I am facing:
I have a table with all customer requests:
| Customer | Requested Service | Status |
| A | Pick-up | *This column should be completed based on the other column |
| B | Pick-up | *This column should be completed based on the other column |
| C | Delivery | *This column should be completed based on the other column |
And another one with the services completed for each customer
| ServiceNum | ServiceType | Realised for |
| 1 | Pick-up | A,B |
| 2 | Delivery | C |
Desired Result:
| Customer | Requested Service | Status |
| A | Pick-up | Completed |
| B | Pick-up | Completed |
| C | Delivery | Completed |
How may I achieve this ?
Hello @davehus , good morning.
No, I understood what you did but lets say I have a column with 10 different Customers for the realized column. I would split by delimiter "," and afterwards unpivot the selected columns right?
Lets say after 1 month I have the column with 20 customers, it will not pivot all of the 20 columns, since I selected only the previous 10 correct?
Hi @Anonymous , I've based the attached on your example. Please click through the powerquery steps to see how the data is being transformed. Is this what you need?
