Look-up string and replace with specified string
Hi,
Splitting is then defeinitely not going to works for you. Create a seperate 2 column Table with Company Names in column1 and Type in column2. Create a relationship between the 2 and write a RELATED() function to bring over data from column2 into Table1.
Rather than look up and replace, is your data in a state whereby you could split your current column in some way to get rid of the last word, then join in your external list?
jthomson I am able to split the column with a space delimiter and simplify the formula (eg. "CompanyA Power" and CompanyA Gas" both become "CompanyA" which then I can write an IF statement IF(Table1[Counterparties] = "CompanyA", "End User", IF(....
I considered writing nested IF statements to do it for all 260 counterparties, but the issue is sometimes CompanyA Power is an End User, but CompanyA Gas is a Marketer or Unknown. So overall splitting is a good strategy, but might work 100% of the time.
