Changing defaults table based on customizations table and composite keys

Hi Guys,

 

I am using PQ in Excel.

i have 2 sources: t_Defaults and t_Customizations with composite Key: Topology&Tier&Function

As a base i am using t_Defaults but what i want to do this is:

1) If any row in t_Customizations is fullfilled (all columns, if one is empty - skip this row !) replace corresponding row (composite key) with corresponding composite key from t_Defaults. 

2) If table t_Customizations is empty - just use t_Defaults. 

 

Expected result:

So as you can see:

1) First row has been replaced from (Topo1&Tier1&Function1 key) t_Defaults with corresponding values from t_Customizations

2) Second row   has been replaced from (Topo2&Tier2&Function2 key) t_Defaults with corresponding values from t_Customizations

3) third row from t_defaults was not replaced because key Topo3&Tier3&Function3 do not exists in t_Customizations table. 

 

I am adding also my example Excel into google drive:

Please help how to do this. I am starting my adventure with PQ currently.

 

Best Wishes,

Jacek
