I have a table called "food suppliers" with a column called "sites" that have multiple countries ending in ".com", ".es", ".co.uk".
I want to create a new column that separates these sites into their corresponding country names using the if and search function on power query.
so far in power query custom column I have:
Country = IF (SEARCH ("*.com", foodsuppliers[sites],,0) = 0, IF (SEARCH ("*.es", foodsuppliers[sites],, 0)= 0, "Spain","UK"),"USA")
But I am getting a "token literal expected" under the first = sign in "IF (SEARCH ("*.com", foodsuppliers[sites],,0) = 0"
does any one have ideas why or a better way to run this code on power query/power bi?
thanks.
Nothing in your code seems relevant
There is no SEARCH function, you want to use Text.Contains
You cant write foodsuppliers[sites] or you will be getting the entire column of all rows. You probably want each current row, which you would get with [sites]
This is not excel where you can do =if (xxx,fff,zzz) the format is if x then y else z
I recommend some tutorials

In Power BI, I need to create a VLOOKUP alternative. From the research I've done, this is done with the LOOKUPVALUE function, but the problem is that function needs one specific SEARCH ITEM, which isn't super helpful in a VLOOKUP type scenario where you have a full column of values to search for?
Given these two tables, connected through the user_name and first_name columns:
...what's the formula needed in order to create a new column in the Employee_Table called phone_call_group by using the names as the search items in order to return the group they belong to? So how can I end up with this?
(Forget that the entries in each table are already sorted, needs to be dynamic). Will be back tomorrow to review solutions.
In Power BI you have relations between tables instead of Excel's VLOOKUP function.
In your case you just have to create a one-to-one relation between
'Phone_Call_Table'[user_name] and 'Employee_Table'['first_name]'
With that you can add a Calculated Column to your 'Employee_Table' using the following expression:
phone_call_group = RELATED(Phone_Call_Table[group])
and in the data view the table will look like this:
LOOKUPVALUE() is just a workaround if for other reasons you can't establish that relation. What you've been missing so far is that in a Calculated Column there is a Row Context which gives you exactly one value per row for the <search_value> (this is different from Measures):
alt_phone_call_group =
LOOKUPVALUE(
Phone_Call_Table[group],
Phone_Call_Table[user_name],
Employee_Table[first_name]
)
I have a table similar to the one attached below:
What I would like to do, using power query, is conditionally filter out (remove) rows where CenterNum = 1101 and DepCode = 257. I figured Table.SelectRows() would work but it doesn't and the query just returns, this table is empty. The #"Expanded AccountLookup" ,in my formula below, is referencing the power query applied step before the one I am trying to create. I'm hoping to get some input on how to remove rows based on these two paramters.
= Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded AccountLookup", each [CostCenterNumber] = "1111001" and [NoteTypeCode] = "257")
Thank you!
You didn’t post a screenshot so it is hard to tell if the column format is text or numerical but try removing the quotes around the numbers
= Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded AccountLookup", each [CostCenterNumber] = 1111001 and [NoteTypeCode] = 257)
If that doesn't work, check the actual column names against what you are using, especially for case (upper/lower) and leading/trailing spaces. The best way to do that is to temporarily rename it, and look at the code for the "from name"
AS a newbie to m I still can't get my head around it. Here is the query I have. It's gone through a number of steps to get to the below. How do I use Expression.Evaluate against the whole query against the column EntryFee, which for the sake of simplicity the query is called #"Nearly There". I want to Evaluate the entire column Entry Fee. To reiterate it needs to be done in Power Query "M"
Snapshot of table/query
You can either add a new custom column with the code
Expression.Evaluate([Entry Fee])
or do a column transformation
= Table.TransformColumns(#"Nearly There", {{"Entry Fee", Expression.Evaluate, type number}})
To generate this step, you can select the column and then Transform tab > Format > Trim and then replace Text.Trim with Expression.Evaluate in the generated code.
Good evening everyone, I'm having trouble resolving the following question:
I have "Table 1" containing the occurrence records and "Table 2" containing the occurrences.
I need to set up a VIRTUAL TABLE or VIEW TABLE that presents the occurrences and their frequencies as follows:
Tables with Perspective
The most I could do was bring the occurrences with the total number of rows in the table, ie the same amount X for all.
Last try using DaxStudio
You need to create a measure to show the numbers in the report.
But first, it is recommended to transform the table into a form like below, where each occurrence appears in each row. This has a lot of advantage to make the DAX measure simpler, more accurate, and run faster.
This can be easily achieved using Power Query Editor. The required steps are,
Select the comma delimited occurrences column.
In Transform tab, click Split Column and choose By Delimiter.
Make sure Comma and split at Each occurrence of the delimiter is selected by default.
In Advanced options, select split into Rows, then click OK.
Then you can define a measure to count the number of occurrences, which is as simple as below.
Count = COUNTROWS ( Tabela1 )
Now, in the report area, you can use the measure to obtain the desired output.
I have recreated your tables and here is the DAX for Table3 (perspectiva):
Table3 =
VAR uniqueOccurences = DISTINCT(Table2[Occurence])
RETURN
ADDCOLUMNS(uniqueOccurences,
"count",
VAR currentOccurence = [Occurence]
RETURN
CALCULATE(COUNTA(Tabel1[ID]),
FILTER(Tabel1, CONTAINSSTRING(Tabel1[Occurences], currentOccurence) = TRUE()))
)
This returns the following table:

I'm trying to fuzzy match two columns in google sheets, i've tried numerous formulas but I think it's going to come down to a script to help out.
I have a column with product ID's e.g.
E20067
and then I have another sheet with another column which has image url's relating to this product code such as
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/web_images/E20067.jpg
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/high_res/E20067.jpg
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/high_res/E20067-2.jpg
What I'm wanting to do is "fuzzy" match both of these columns for their product ID, and then create a new column for each match. So it would have the product ID then on the same row in multiple columns each product image URL - like the image below:
Is there a way to do this in google sheets using a script or a formula?
In Google sheets there are a few powerful 'regex' formulas.
Suppose, you have ID list in column A, and URL list in column B
Then use formula:
=REGEXEXTRACT(B1,JOIN("|",$A$1:$A$3))
It will match one of ID's. Drag the formula down to see the result as in picture above.

Old thread but, in case you find yourself here, search for my Google Sheets add-on called Flookup. It should do exactly what you want.
For this case, you can use this function:
Flookup (lookupValue, tableArray, lookupCol, indexNum, threshold, [rank], [range])
The parameter details are:
lookupValue: the value you're looking up
tableArray: the table you want to search
lookupCol: the column you want to search
indexNum: the column you want data to be returned from
threshold: the percentage similarity below which data shouldn't be returned
rank: the nth best match (i.e. if the first one isn't to your liking)
range: choose to return the percentage similarity or row number for each match
You can find out more at the official website (examples and such).
Please note that, whereas the OP appears to want the whole list of possible matches, Flookup will only return one result at a time.
Flookup can now return a list of all possible matches through its LRM mode.
Try the following. I am assuming the product codes are in Sheet1 and the URLs are in Sheet2. Both in column A:
=iferror(transpose(FILTER(Sheet2!$A$2:$A,Search("*"& A2 &"*",Sheet2!$A$2:$A))))
Copy down.
If you want to show the image instead of the url try:
=arrayformula(image(iferror(transpose(FILTER(Sheet2!$A$2:$A,Search("*"& A2 &"*",Sheet2!$A$2:$A))))))
