Hi,
I have this string in a column:
A*B*C*A*C
Then I have this table:
Code | Description |
A | Blue |
B | Green |
C | Red |
D | Yellow |
I would like to create a column where the result picks the description from the table.
The result should be like this:
Blue*Green*Red*Blue*Red
I would really appreciate if you could help me with a dax for this.
Thanks!

You can add a custom column in Power Query and achieve the same. File is attached
Text.Combine(
List.Transform(
Text.Split([Column1],"*"),(a)=> Text.Replace(a,a, Table.SelectRows( Table2, (i)=> i[Code] = a)[Description]{0})),"*")
)

This worked really well, thank you!
@coejnot I realize that this is already solved and @Fowmy solution is the best one. However, I couldn't help creating a DAX solution for this. The solution is based on my Text to Table measure:
Column =
VAR __Separator = "*"
VAR __SearchText = [Column1]
VAR __Len = LEN(__SearchText)
VAR __Count = __Len - LEN(SUBSTITUTE(__SearchText,__Separator,"")) + 1
VAR __Table =
ADDCOLUMNS(
ADDCOLUMNS(
GENERATESERIES(1,__Count,1),
"__Word",
VAR __Text = SUBSTITUTE(__SearchText,__Separator,"|",IF([Value]=1,1,[Value]-1))
VAR __Start =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
__Count = 1,1,
[Value] = 1,1,
FIND("|",__Text)+1
)
VAR __End =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
__Count = 1,__Len,
[Value] = 1,FIND("|",__Text) - 1,
[Value] = __Count,__Len,
FIND(__Separator,__Text,__Start)-1
)
VAR __Word = MID(__Text,__Start,__End - __Start + 1)
RETURN __Word
),
"__Replaced",LOOKUPVALUE('Table'[Description],'Table'[Code],[__Word])
)
RETURN
CONCATENATEX(__Table,[__Replaced],__Separator,[Value])
Hi, @Greg_Deckler
I tried this out too, and it also works as I expected.
Interesting to learn even more about how to create things in DAX.
Thank you!
