Hi all,
Newbie here, just learning as I go.
I have two tables (just a simplified example):
| DETAILS |
| detail_id |
| firstname |
| lastname |
| GENERAL |
| general_id |
| detail_id |
| name |
I want GENERAL[name] to be a concatenation of DETAILS[firstname] and DETAILS[lastname].
How do I go about that.
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Dicko , a new column in GENERAL table
maxx(filter(DETAILS, DETAILS[detail_id] = GENERAL[general_id]) , [firstname] &" " & [lastname])
or
concatenatex(filter(DETAILS, DETAILS[detail_id] = GENERAL[general_id]) , [firstname] &" " & [lastname] ,", ")
