Hi everyone,
I need to assign vendors to employees based on their first 3 letters, example:
Vendors > Employee
A - BAX > person A
BAY - DZ > person B
E - KO > person C
etc..
I'm hoping to find a way to create a column with DAX or power query to assign them rather than do it manually.
Thanks,
D
How does E go to C?
Create a table based on a set of characters which employees need to assign.
Create a new column in the table having vendor
Table having data = maxx(new table,search(new Tabble [search text], Table[vendor))>=0, new table[employee])
