If Statement with Custom column (yes or no)

[Shan_Drex12]

Hi All,

I have two tables here, That I want to merge together 

Table1

Number	Sector
2378	Vision
8908	Clothing
2311	Vision

, Table2

EntryNumber	Sector
2378	Vision
4568	Clothing
2311	Vision

If match the criteria from (Table1) to Table2 then make a custom column that return the status is "Yes" if it does not match then return the status is "No". 

Final Table:

Number	Sector	Match Column
2378	Vision	YES
8908	Clothing	NO
2311	Vision	YES

Hello @Shan_Drex12 

didn't get exactly your requirement. Please make a table where you define what your final output should look like

Hi @Jimmy801 

I added the final results in the orginal post. Thank you!

Hello @Shan_Drex12 

you can use Table.MatchAnyRows to do that. However I had to rename the columns before feeding this function. Here the code that contains both of your tables and the function i mentioned. Check it out

let
    Table1 = let
            Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjI2t1DSUQrLLM7Mz1OK1YlWsrA0AIk45+SXZGTmpYPFjIwNDZFUxQIA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Number = _t, Sector = _t]),
            #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Number", Int64.Type}, {"Sector", type text}})
        in
            #"Changed Type",
    Table2 = let
            Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjI2t1DSUQrLLM7Mz1OK1YlWMjE1A4k45+SXZGTmpYPFjIwNDZFUxQIA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [EntryNumber = _t, Sector = _t]),
            #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"EntryNumber", Int64.Type}, {"Sector", type text}})
        in
            #"Changed Type",
    CheckTable2Matches = Table.AddColumn
    (
        Table1,
        "is entry in table 2",
        (add)=> Table.MatchesAnyRows(Table.RenameColumns(Table2, {{"EntryNumber", "Number"}}), each _ = add ),
        type logical
    )
in
    CheckTable2Matches

This is the output

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

Thanks @Jimmy801 quick question. Would this work if its two data sets. Would I have to merge the columns based on a full outer join on "Number" to keep everything and then do this custom column formula?
