    Hi Nicks612 ,

    Please try using merge query

    and then transform the New Status column.

    In the simulated data, there will be the case of matching to more than one status, here I assume that there is "OK" in the status to return "OK", otherwise return "NG".


    Please check the pbix file.

Hello guys,

tackytechtom  and AlienSx 

sorry for the inconvenience!! there is some change in the previous data query. Please find the updated doubt.

 

I have two tables: table A and table B as shown below.

I want to make a conditional column in Table B with reference to Table A which contains OK and Nok data.

Table A contains:

 

Sr.NoStatusDBKey
123456OK20230503092547
123456NG20230503084725
123456OK20230503070939
235678NG20230508100137
132456NG20230524172714
132456OK20230527141557
165478OK20230514120545
765432NG20230507130646
765432NG20230507131046

 

Table B contains:

Sr.NoDBKey
12345620230503084725
23567820230508100137
13245620230527141557
76543220230507131046

 

Result table B be like:

 

Sr.NoDBKeyNew Status
12345620230503084725NG
23567820230508100137NG
13245620230527141557OK
76543220230507131046NG

 

Can you help me out with this problem? I have tried with the DAX lookup formula and succeeded but need to do it with the power query editor.
