Help - lookup value

Hi All, 

 

I am new to power bi and couldn't figure this query out. I have a table like below with the list of work email based on the source. 

NameWork emailSource
Davea@abc.comA
Bellb@abc.comC
Whitec@abc.comB

 

Something like this

 

NameABC
Davea@abc.com  
Bell b@abc.com 
white  c@abc.com

 

And then compare the results to see if the email in column "A" matches the email in Column 'B' and also next match with column "c". When i try to do it, the blanks also counts as a value which i don't want. I just need to identify the emails which exist in sources B & C when compared with column "A".

 

The intent here is to identify email id's which matches the source (B & C) when compared with source A and return the email id that matches and ignore the blanks.

 

Can someone pls help? I couldn't figure this out.

 

Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the response. I was able to transform the data from rows to columns. now I need to check if the email in column b & C matches with column A. if so, i would like to return the same value (it should ignore the blanks as it comes up as "not matched").

not really get your point, just try to transform the format

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WckksS1XSUUp0SExK1kvOzwWyHZVidaKVnFJzcoCcJCQJZ7BEeEZmCUhLMpKMk1JsLAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, #"Work email" = _t, Source = _t]),
    Custom1 = Table.FromRecords(Table.TransformRows(Source,each Record.AddField([[Name]],[Source],[Work email])),{"Name"}&List.Distinct(Source[Source]),2)
in
    Custom1
