Limiting Data load with variable match expression

I need to figure out how to limit that data load by anything that has a load number of any of the below'MA1001','MA1002','MA1003','MA1004','MA1005','MA1006','MA1007','MA1008','MA1009','MA1010','MA1011'

 

I have tried setting the variable at the beginning of the load script as:

let vLoadNumber= if(match([Load Number],'MA1001','MA1002','MA1003','MA1004','MA1005','MA1006','MA1007','MA1008','MA1009','MA1010','MA1011'),[Load Number]);

 

and then calling it in the table load as follows:

[RU Table]:
LOAD
[RU] as RUTable.RU,
[RU Description],
[RU Name] AS [RU Table.RU Name],
[Level 3] AS [RU Level 3],
[Level 2] AS [RU Level 2],
[Level 1] AS [RU Level 1],
[Load Number],
[ELT],
[Sort Order] AS [RU Sort Order]

FROM [Metadata Tables.xlsm]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [RU Table])
Where [Load Number]='$(vLoadNumber)';

 

I can't get it to work right when I run the load. 66 Records should load from the RU table, and I'm getting 0. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Pthester416,

what you expect to be done is something like listed below?

set vLoadNumber = match([Load Number],'MA1001','MA1002','MA1003','MA1004','MA1005','MA1006','MA1007','MA1008','MA1009','MA1010','MA1011');

[RU Table]:
LOAD
[RU] as RUTable.RU,
[RU Description],
[RU Name] AS [RU Table.RU Name],
[Level 3] AS [RU Level 3],
[Level 2] AS [RU Level 2],
[Level 1] AS [RU Level 1],
[Load Number],
[ELT],
[Sort Order] AS [RU Sort Order]

FROM [Metadata Tables.xlsm]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [RU Table])
Where $(vLoadNumber);
