Hi Ayappan ,

In this case, your 1, 38 in EquipmentTypeID column looks for the same entry in your ID.1 Column of the Equipment_Types table.

 

In your expected table, if you see, field is getting returned for I = 1, but not for ID = 1,38. In addition, in your table, all comma separated IDs have return NULL as field value.

Although you have separate records for 1 and 38 IDs, since 1, 38 is not a single ID it won't work.

Would suggest that you check such that either the comma separated values are split into two separate rows or the lookup table ID should have comma separate Values

 

Hope this solves your issue
