Conditional Comparing tables

Hi guys!

 

I need to compare two diffent tables (more than 6mi rows each one) with conditionals. like a VLOOKUP + IF function or more specifically, index + match in excel.

 

In table 1, i need to figure out if exists in table 2 and if so, how many days are between each one (there's a date column) - I need only the diference <= 30 days. But i can have the same ID more than once with differents dates. 

 

Thanks!!!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Sounds like Merge Queries.

Better to share some sample data and expected result to us.

 

Best Regards,

Hi,

 

sorry, my bad!

 

here's a sample data. The situation is like:

1) Step1 - Everyday, I send an e-mail to customers about outstading payments.

2) Step2 - Everyday, i check all the payments we've received and compare to our list in step 1 (ID_CLIENT in  step 2might be in step1 or not)

 

Table C = Notifications E-mail

Table R = Payments

Trying to solve it, in table R i've checked if CLIENT_ID in table R exists in table C:

vlookupvalue.JPG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now, I'm trying to have something like:

if column vlookup = X, go to table C and get the latest date considering the column DATE in table R (in table C, i can have the same ID_CLIENT more than once -- with differents dates)

 

Thanks!!
