Hello,
Can someone help me guide how to look-up values for a cell which contains multiple values?
Below is the problem description with a small sample data:
1. Input Table 1:
Below is the first input table with one column that contains the values that I want to lookup. Each cell contains multiple values as shown.
2. Input table 2 (Lookup Table)
The lookup table below contains 2 columns, the first column matches the content of table 1 above. Column 2 is the value that I want to lookup.
3. Desired Output
Below is the desired output where values of "LookupTable Column2" from the 2nd table get matched up to the "INPUTCOLUMN" from table 1. I want the output in this format since i want finally extract the output in an excel just the way displayed in the snapshot below.
Is it possible to achieve this in powerbi?
Thanks in advance
@ryan_mayu Is the attachment correct?
This is what i see and this seems incorrect.
Also, if you were able to get the desired output like the picture I posted in my initial post, how did you do it?
Thanks!
ok.. i am a little confused, so a solution does not exist?
If it exists can you post the powerBI file?
Also, I forgot to mention one more thing is that in your last snapshot (output) i want the "Valid, invalid, N/A" in a separate column as shown in my Desired output snapshot in initial post.
