How to replace values in joined columns from different tables?
Hello
I have used a common column to join three tables.
I dragged the common column to create a table in the dashboard. Then I need to do these:
1) I want to drag another column into the table that normally does not have blanks but due to being joined/lookedup by the common column, blanks are created. How do I replace these blanks with a specific value?
2) I want to drag another column and replace its values with "New" when there is 'YES' in either of two other columns. When this condition is not met, the values of the column should be left intact.
Any help please?

Create column in 2nd table
NEw column=if(related(table3[Column]="Yes","New",table3[Column])
For first question,
I think we need to use lookupvalue or simply merge two queries.
Could you please share sample dataset and expected output.
Thanks & regards,

Appreciate your Kudos.Example:
Source table 1:
1,a1
2,a2
3,a3
Source table 2:
1,b1
2,b2
4,b4
Source table 3:
1,c1
2,c2
3,c3
FIRST QUESTION:
When I join these two tables and I create a table component with the first column to be the first column of the first table and the second column to be the second column of the second table, it displays:
1,b1
2,b2
3,[blank]
I want to replace these blanks with "YES".
SECOND QUESTION:
When I create the table:
1,b1,c1
2,b2,c2
3[blank],c3
I want to replace the values in the third column with 'NO' when there is a blank in either first or second column. When this condition is not met, I would like to leave the values of the third column intact.
Thanks
