I need help! I have a table with multiple values listed, seperated with commas. I need to look up the category, but it is in a seperate unrelated table. I want it to return all of the values from the category for each item in the cell. Ideally, I would like to have just one category returned, even if the category has two food matches.
Column in my table
Food |
Apples, Cherries, Celery, bread |
Apples, Cheese, Celery, bread |
Desired output
Value I want from look up |
Fruit, Vegetable, Grain |
Fruit,Dairy, Vegetable, Grain |
look up from this table
Food | Category |
Apples | Fruit |
Cherries | Fruit |
Celery | Vegetable |
Bread | Grain |
Cheese | Dairy |

Try this calculated column in MainTable (your first table):
Categories =
VAR vCategories =
FILTER ( LookupTable, CONTAINSSTRING ( MainTable[Food], LookupTable[Food] ) )
VAR vDistinctCategories =
SUMMARIZE ( vCategories, LookupTable[Category] )
VAR vResult =
CONCATENATEX ( vDistinctCategories, LookupTable[Category], ", " )
RETURN
vResult
