Hi,
In power query I have a text column with phrases. I want to categorize the phrases by one or more keywords found in the text. The keywords are defined in another table.
I would like the found keywords to be added as a table/list in a new column. The reason I want a table returned is, that I intend to expand this. same as https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Power-query-Add-column-with-list-of-keywords-found....
I am using a function in m code(photo attached) to extract all rows that match the words from the list.
ID | text | keywords to be searched for | table to be returned |
111 | standard price for the product | standard price | standard price |
112 | standard for the product | standard | standard |
113 | price for the product | price | price |
I have an issue with this solution
When i expand the table if there is a text that contains 'price', I can see also the rows with 'standard price'.
This is not what I want. 'Price' and 'Standard price' should be separate categories( the one shouldnt be included in the other). In other words , if the text contains price w/o th word standard, this shouldnt be included in standard price.
Thank you.
