Lookup for value based on sorted mapping table
Hi, I have been solving the categorization case for some time. The case is therefore: I have an mapping table (MapTable) where the order is important. Keyword Brand Index e-tron Electric CAR 0 sportback Sport CAR 1 Q6 SUV 2 4x FourCross CAR 3 citycarver City CAR 4 Also I have Product Table (Products). Product A1_citycarver_s-tronic_e-tron A1_citycarver_s-tronic_TSI A1_citycarver_s-tronic_TSI_4x A6_sportback_s-tronic_TSI_4x A6_avant_s-tronic_TSI_4x Q6_sportback_s-tronic_TSI_4x Q6_avant_s-tronic_TSI_e-tron Q6_family_s-tronic_TSI_4x Based on keyword from MapTable I need to assign Brand. As is known, LOOKUPVALUE function works with native sorting, you cannot specify another column in MapTable for sorting. So after using this function you get wrong Brand values. Brand = LOOKUPVALUE(MapTable[Brand],MapTable[Keyword],FIRSTNONBLANK(FILTER(VALUES(MapTable[Keyword]),SEARCH(MapTable[Keyword],Products[Product],1,0)),1)) Second option I often use is that I am using all columns in filter, then I also need to get only specified column result as "search_value". Brand Sorted = LOOKUPVALUE(MapTable[Brand],MapTable[Keyword],SELECTCOLUMNS(FIRSTNONBLANK(FILTER(VALUES(MapTable),SEARCH(MapTable[Keyword],Products[Product],1,0)),1),"search_value",MapTable[Keyword])) I hope the second option works, but does anyone have any other solution? The result seems like: Your feedback is welcome! Thank you, Petr
