Lookup one field, return multiple matches

Hi All,

 

 

I have two tables, one (Table A) with unique ID and another one (Table B) with non unique values that refere to Table A.

 

Table A
ID
001
002
003
004
005
006
007

 

Table B 
ID(Table A)
001Pro
001Live
002Pro
003Pro
004Live
005Live
006Live
006Pro
007Pro

 

Here is what I am trying to achieve: I want to know which ID's  from Table A are missing either "Pro" or "Live" in Table B. If They are complete then "Complete"

 

 

Table A 
ID Missing
001Complete
002Live
003Live
004Pro
005Pro
006Complete
007Live

 

Your help is much appreciated!

 

Thanks

    Hi rcalvo,

    In Query Editor, firstly click on your Table A, then select “Merge Queries as New” to merge the two tables.


    Secondly, add custom column named “Status” in your merged table.

    = Text.Combine([NewColumn][Status],", ")


    Thirdly, add a custom column named “Missing” in your merged table and you will get expected result.

    = if [Status]="Pro, Live" or [Status] ="Live, Pro" then "Complete"
    else if [Status] ="Pro" then "Live" else "Pro"


    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang
