Lookup into multiple tables

qlikwiz123 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 18:38:43 GMT

I have three tables

Source:

Name	ID	Region
A	1	ASIA
B	4	ASIA
C	5	NA
D	7	EMEA
E	9	ASIA
F	2	ASIA
G	5	EMEA
H	8	EMEA
I		NA
J		ASIA
K		NA
L		ASIA
M		EMEA
N		EMEA

Category:

Name	CategoryID
A	4
B	5
C	9
D	3
E	6
F	1
G	0
H	8
I	2
J	7
K	10
L	23
M	65
N	12
O	66
P	54
Q	35
R	87
S	98
T	67
U	23
V	11
W	70
X	30
Y	29
Z	36

Property:

CategoryID	ID
45	1
96	4
91	5
88	7
62	9
99	2
19	5
55	8
2	71
7	73
10	72
23	75
65	49
12	59

I need to fill the values for 'ID' in table 'Source' by looking into 'Category' and 'Property Tables'

In plain English, I should use 'Name' from Source table and look into Category table, use the CategoryID to get relevant 'ID' values from Property table and populate the Source Table as below:

Result Table: Source:

Name	ID	Region
A	1	ASIA
B	4	ASIA
C	5	NA
D	7	EMEA
E	9	ASIA
F	2	ASIA
G	5	EMEA
H	8	EMEA
I	71	NA
J	73	ASIA
K	72	NA
L	75	ASIA
M	49	EMEA
N	59	EMEA

Help to achieve this is greatly appreciated as I am trying ApplyMap, Left Join etc for days now but not able to do this 🙂
