Measure: Find Partial Text in Unrelated Table

Hi,

 

I have two unreleated tables with 1 common field.

My goal is to create a measure that can identify, for any given SalesOrderID, if there exists a partial match for "Order added to warehouse" in another table's "Message" column. 

 

Table1: ApplicationAudit

BranchIDApplicationIDTransactionNumberMessageModAtAutoID
SF01SALESORDER1118778Order added to warehouse order 00035991.12/30/2020 8:5117898821
SF01SALESORDER1056768Order added to warehouse order 00036431.1/8/2021 14:1818141984
SF01SALESORDER1118781Order added to warehouse order 00037859.2/4/2021 14:4018944137
DADFSALESORDER1118628Order added to warehouse order 00036097.1/4/2021 10:1417958991
DADFSALESORDER1118628To Bin: SHIP011/4/2021 13:3217970590

 

Table2:SalesOrder

BranchIDSalesOrderID
RK101123590
DADF1123552
SF011056768
SF011118778
DADF1118628

 

Expected Output (messure):

BranchIDSalesOrderIDAdded to warehouse
RK101123590NO
DADF1123552NO
SF011056768YES
SF011118778YES
DADF1118628YES

 

Notes:

 

Both tables have additional fields but ApplicationAudit.TransactionNumber = SalesOrder.SalesOrderID

 

SalesOrderIDs 1056768, 1118778 and 1118628 have "Yes" under "Added to warehouse" because in the applicationaduit table, the same TransacationNumber has a log under the message column for "Order added to warehouse"


SalesOrderID and TransactionNumber have duplicates in each table

 

Added to warehouse =
IF(ISBLANK(
MINX(
FILTER(ApplicationAudit, SEARCH("Order added",ApplicationAudit[Message],1,0) > 0 ),
SalesOrders[Lines])),
"YES",
"NO")

@EnrichedUser , Try some thing like 

 

if(isblank(countx(filter(ApplicationAudit,SalesOrder[SalesOrderID] = ApplicationAudit[TransactionNumber] && search("Order added to warehouse", ApplicationAudit[Message],,0) >0),ApplicationAudit[Message])), "No", "Yes")

@EnrichedUser , Try a new column in SalesOrder

 

if(isblank(countx(filter(ApplicationAudit,search(SalesOrder[SalesOrderID], ApplicationAudit[Message],,0) >0),ApplicationAudit[Message])), "No", "Yes")

Hi @amitchandak 

Thank you for your quick reply. Unfortuntaly, this was not able to resolve.

looking at your dax:
if(isblank(countx(filter(ApplicationAudit,search(SalesOrder[SalesOrderID], ApplicationAudit[Message],,0) >0),ApplicationAudit[Message])), "No", "Yes")

it does not take into account the message field for "Order added to warehouse"

 

Also, SalesOrderID would not be in Message but TranscationNumber

@EnrichedUser , Try some thing like 

 

if(isblank(countx(filter(ApplicationAudit,SalesOrder[SalesOrderID] = ApplicationAudit[TransactionNumber] && search("Order added to warehouse", ApplicationAudit[Message],,0) >0),ApplicationAudit[Message])), "No", "Yes")
