Hi,
I have a lookup table with a list of codes and a rank assigned against each code.
The lookup table looks as follows:
| Code | Rank |
| DI9001 | 1 |
| DI2102 | 1 |
| DI0303 | 2 |
| DI0404 | 2 |
| DI6005 | 3 |
| DI5006 | 3 |
| DI0307 | 3 |
| DI0018 | 4 |
| DI0019 | 4 |
| DI0020 | 4 |
I also have a data table with a string of codes assigned to parts.
Please see below:
| Part # | Codes |
| Part 1 | DI9001 DI2102 DI6005 |
| Part 2 | DI9001 DI0020 DI5006 |
| Part 3 | DI9001 |
| Part 4 | DI5006 |
| Part 5 | DI0307 |
| Part 6 | |
| Part 7 | DI9001 DI0020 |
| Part 8 | DI9001 DI0303 |
| Part 9 | DI0307 DI0020 |
| Part 10 | DI0020 DIV090 |
Please note that in the string there are values that should be ingored as they are not present in the lookup table.
In this eg it is DIV090.
What I'm looking for is for power bi to review the stirng of codes and assigned rank to the part based on the highest ranked code in the string according to the lookup table
Solution should look as follow.
| Part # | Codes | Rank |
| Part 1 | DI9001 DI2102 DI6005 | 3 |
| Part 2 | DI9001 DI0020 DI5006 | 4 |
| Part 3 | DI9001 | 1 |
| Part 4 | DI5006 | 3 |
| Part 5 | DI0307 | 3 |
| Part 6 | ||
| Part 7 | DI9001 DI0020 | 4 |
| Part 8 | DI9001 DI0303 | 2 |
| Part 9 | DI0307 DI0020 | 4 |
| Part 10 | DI0020 DIV090 | 4 |
Could someone support please.

hi @Lobo1908
the solution consists 3 steps:
1) split the codes column to rows with Power Query,
2) connect the splitted table with the lookup table
3) get the expected RankTable
here comes the details:
1) split to rows
2) connect with the lookup table
3) create a new table with this:
RankTable =
ADDCOLUMNS(
VALUES(TableName[PartNo]),
"Rank",
CALCULATE(
MAXX(
TableName,
RELATED(Lookup[Rank])
)
)
)
the result looks like this:
