match
2 TopicsLooking for specific text in cell based on another column
I'm trying to do a Find/Mid/Match in Power Query, but I'm not sure how to do it. Basically, I have a long list of article numbers and article names - inside these articles names it's stated which colour the product is. The issue is that it's not always in the same place. I have a query named "X_Colours" with one column "Colours" type is Text. Other query is "Items" with two columns "Item No" (Number) and "Name" (Text). I would like a custom column that looks in "Items" "Name" for a similar value from "X_Colours" "Colours" column. If it finds the same value, it should return the value from "X_Colours" if not, it should just return something like "Unknown", so I can manually look for the colour and add it to the list. Is this possible or do I have to create a new table and use an excel formula and then add it back into the query? Thanks in advance!877Views0likes2Comments
