Hi,
I have a column with a string of text (actually a 12 digit product number) that I want to see if it finds that 12 digit number in some text in another column in a different table.
Table1 (table name)
Product (column name)
1111
0000
Table2
Notes
Please use product 1111
I recommend ordering 3333 for this issue
So since the Notes column in Table2 has "1111" then I would need to generate a column that says "Yes" because it found that product number in the notes. The 2nd row in Table2, recommends product 3333 but Table1 indicates product 0000, so then the result would be "No". Hopefully I explained it well enough. Thanks for any suggestions!
Here is a similar case. You may have a look.
