Checking keywords from another table
Hi,
I have one keyword table (table1)
| ABC |
| DE |
| FG |
| HI |
| JK |
and a table to be checked (table2)
| ABC-3 |
| aABCD |
| YHIK |
| FGGG |
| JKKJ |
| DEA_B |
May I ask how to give out the following result for table2 while both table 1 and 2 will be updated for more elements.
| 2ABC-3 | ABC |
| ABCD | ABC |
| YHIK | HI |
| FGGG | FG |
| JKKJ | JK |
| DEA_B | DE |
Thank you.

Hi Parco ,
Here's my solution.
1.Add a custom column to insert the table2.
2.Expand the column you want to match.
3.Add a custom to match values.
4.Filter out the true value to get the final result.

Let's assume that column is named Data in both tables. Then in a custom column in Table2, you can put following formula
= try Table1[Data]{List.PositionOf(List.Transform(Table1[Data],(x)=>Text.Contains([Data],x)),true)} otherwise nullSee the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnRy1jVWitWJVkoEMl3ArEgPT28ww83d3R3M8PL29gIzXFwd452UYmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Data = _t]), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Result", each try Table1[Data]{List.PositionOf(List.Transform(Table1[Data],(x)=>Text.Contains([Data],x)),true)} otherwise null) in #"Added Custom" - AlexisOlsonSuper User
Here's another possibility.
(row) => List.First(List.Select(table2[Keyword], each Text.Contains(row[Text], _)))This takes the list of keywords (table2[Keyword[), selects the keywords that are contained in the text from the current row of table1, and then takes the first element of that list (if it exists).
Full sample query (referencing table2 with a column [Keyword]):
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnRy1jVWitWJVkoEMl3ArEgPT28ww83d3R3M8PL29gIzXFwd453ALJBqVzeIdERklFJsLAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Text = _t]), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", (row) => List.First(List.Select(table2[Keyword], each Text.Contains(row[Text], _))), type text) in #"Added Custom" - AnonymousNot applicable
