Lookupvalue in same table based on two columns

Hi everyone,

 

I have one table that contains two columns:  a non-unique url and unique activity id's. These two columns are in one table and i would i like to achive a new column that return the on each row the url with each unique activity ID.

 

So This is the example: In the yellow part of the URL column you see "&[activityid]&" and in the activityid column you see each row a unique id's. A new column will return on first row the following output:

 

This is the example:

A new column need to be created where the yellow marked non-unique value will replayce with {activityid} on each row.

So the first output on this example would be:

Maybe the SUBSTITUTE function?

 

SUBSTITUTE(<text>, <old_text>, <new_text>, <instance_num>)

 

New Column = SUBSTITUTE([URL],"""&[activityid]&""","{" & [activityid] & "}")

Hello,

 

What do you exactly mean?
