I need to match my datatable with the exclusion list and do exclude from the report.

 

For instance, Name: A with either Group or Caller or State or Category is matching with my datatable, it needs to be excluded.

 

Tried Solution:

First, I created multiple columns to extract the exclusionlist data to my datatable using below calculated column:

Category = MAXX(FILTER('Exclusionlist', Exclusionlist[Category] = datatable[Category]), Exclusionlist[Category])

 

And the I am comparing the columns using below calculated column:

CategoryMatch = IF(AND(datatable[category] <> BLANK(), SNOW_Request[SubCategory] = SNOW_Request[request_subcategory]), "Yes", "No")

 

Finally, I created the below calculated column:

Column = IF(AND(datatable[Name] = "Yes", OR(OR(datatable[Group] = "Yes", datatable[Caller] = "Yes"), datatable[Category] = "Yes")), "Exclude", "Include")

 

But I didn't get the desired output as there is a possibility of Other Names contain same Category / State / Caller.

 

I need my exclusion should happen as:

AND(Name = Yes, Group = Yes), "Exclude" or AND(Name = Yes, Caller = Yes), "Exclude" or AND(Name = Yes, Category = Yes), "Exclude" or AND(Name = Yes, Priority = Yes), "Exclude" else "Include"

 

Can anyone help me with this problem statement?

Hi @gssarathkumar ,

 

Your requirement is "AND(Name = Yes, Group = Yes), "Exclude" or AND(Name = Yes, Caller = Yes), "Exclude" or AND(Name = Yes, Category = Yes), "Exclude" or AND(Name = Yes, Priority = Yes), "Exclude" else "Include""?

 

Is Yes a string or does it mean that the current column is not null? For example, "Group = Yes" means that the Group column is not null? I don't quite understand.

 

In Power Query, it is convenient to create custom columns to achieve your needs.

If it means that the current column is not null, the syntax is as follows:

if [Name] <> Null.Type and ( [Group] <> Null.Type or [Caller] <> Null.Type or [State] <> Null.Type or [Category] <> Null.Type or [Priority] <> Null.Type) then "Exclude" else "Include"

vhuijieymsft_1-1713508755551.png

 

The same is true if it is a string, just change <> Null.Type to = "Yes".

 

The page effect is as follows:

vhuijieymsft_2-1713508791984.png

 

After saving and exiting Power Query, add the newly created custom column to the Filter and set the condition to "is not Exclude".

The final page effect is as follows:
