Comma Delimiting Multiple Fields into One Field based on Association and Status

mskusace — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 14:18:17 GMT

I have 2 tables that are associated with the ID column. One table has project data and the other table has the users associated with the project. Each project has a status which indicates who has current ownership of the project. I would like a way to show in the table everyone in a certain role associated with the project based on the status. There can be multiple people in the same role, so I would need multiple people to show in one field delimited by a comma.

Table 1

ID	Project	Date Started	Status
1	Project1	2019-03-15	Initiated
2	Project2	2018-08-23	Reviewed
3	Project3	2019-02-01	Final

Table 2

ID	User Role	User	E-mail
1	Admin	User1	user1@user1.com
1	Project Manager	User2	user2@user2.com
1	Analyst	User3	user3@user3.com
1	Analyst	User5	user5@user5.com
2	Project Manager	User2	user2@user2.com
2	Analyst	User4	user4@user4.com
3	Project Manager	User6	user6@user6.com
3	Analyst	User3	user3@user3.com
3	Admin	User7	user7@user7.com

Desired Result

ID	Project	Date Started	Status	User	E-mail
1	Project1	2019-03-15	Initiated	User3, User5	user3@user3.com, user5@user5.com
2	Project2	2018-08-23	Reviewed	(Missing)	(Missing)
3	Project3	2019-02-01	Final	User6	user6@user6.com

Logic

If Status = Initiated, show Analyst

If Status = Reviewed, show Admin

If Status = Final, show Project Manager

If Status = Initiated and there is no Analyst associated with the project, fill in the field with "(Missing)". This is an error catch for me.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Try this:

Pick(

Match(Status,'Initiated','Reviewed','Final'),

Concat({<[User Role]={'Analyst'}>}User,','),

Concat({<[User Role]={'Admin'}>}User,','),

Concat({<[User Role]={'Project Manager'}>}User,',')

)

I can't seem to get it to work. I double checked all spelling, capitalization, and field names also. It says "Invalid Dimension".

UPDATE

I got it to work as a measure. Is there a way to make that a searchable field? It doesn't appear to be at the moment.

Thanks for the reply and help!

You will have to create this field in script to make it searchable.

Got it. Would I just use the same code you provided for the load script and put an "As [Name_of_field]" there? Do I need to change any of the syntax? I've only done basic editing in the data load editor. I appreciate your help!
