If Statement with Custom column (yes or no)

Hi All,

 

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

Table1

NumberSector
2378Vision
8908Clothing
2311Vision

 

, Table2

EntryNumberSector
2378Vision
4568Clothing
2311Vision

 

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:

NumberSectorMatch Column
2378VisionYES
8908ClothingNO
2311VisionYES

    Hello Shan_Drex12 

     

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

        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.
