Search field value in another field (occurance)

Hi all ( stalwar1‌ , swuehl

I have 2 table:

1) table1 have a field called Key as follow:

Key :

if(len(Trim(Product_Code))=0 and Len(Trim(Currency))=0,CDR_Standardized,

if(len(Trim(Product_Code))=0 and Len(Trim(Currency))<>0 ,CDR_Standardized&'|'&Currency,

if(len(Trim(Product_Code))<>0 and Len(Trim(Currency))=0 ,CDR_Standardized&'|'&Product_Code,

(CDR_Standardized&'|'&Product_Code&'|'&Currency)))) as Key

It has values such as :

70648|USD that's associated to an ID=2 for example !

Now the Key in the second table contains values like this:

XXX|70648|USD|02

AA|70648|USD|05

DD|70648|USD

70648|USD|1919|EST


so; the ID=2 is obviously not associated with :

XXX|70648|USD|02

AA|70648|USD|05

DD|70648|USD

70648|USD|1919|EST


The question is: how to do to associate these values since Key from the first table exists in the second?

Thanks a ton !

I am going to ask you to take a step back....

Instead of what all you have tried... can you give me few mapping table data and few fact table data... I am just lost in the multiple humongous responses above and not able to work with them

here's the first table:

LOAD * INLINE [

    ID, Key, Value1, Value2

   3, 70648,50,20

  2, USD|70648, Valuex, valuey

    4, USD|70648|xx, Valuex, valuey

    1, fxFA | EUR, 20,30

];

and the second one:

LOAD * INLINE [

    key, otherField

    XXX|70648|02, 300

    fxFA | EUR, 500

    EUR|fxFA|200,200

    300|fxFA,10

    USD|70648|xx,50

    xx|300|USD|70648,100

   EUR|500|fxFA,300

    AA|70648|05|USD, 500

    DD|70648|USD, 200

    70648|USD|1919|EST, 150

];

I think u already know what are the results I'm looking for .

This worked !

table1:

LOAD *,trim(text(subfield(Key,'|'))) as kw INLINE [

id, Key, Value1, Value2

   3, 70648,50,20 //works for this one !

  2, USD|70648, Valuex, valuey

    4, USD|70648|xx, Valuex, valuey

    1, fxFA | EUR, 20,30

];

left join

LOAD Key,count(DISTINCT kw) as keycount

resident table1

group by Key;

table2:

LOAD * INLINE [

key, otherField

   XXX|70648|02, 300

    fxFA | EUR, 500

    EUR|fxFA|200,200

    300|fxFA,10

    USD|70648|xx,50

    xx|300|USD|70648,100

   EUR|500|fxFA,300

    AA|70648|05|USD, 500

    DD|70648|USD, 200

    70648|USD|1919|EST, 150

];

left join(table2)

LOAD id,// as idfk,

kw as kw2 resident table1;

table3:

NoConcatenate

LOAD *,if(WildMatch(key,'*'&kw2&'*'),1,0) as ismatch

resident table2;

drop Table table2;

left join

load key,id,sum(ismatch) as countmatch

Resident table3

group by key,id;

inner join(table3)

LOAD id,keycount as countmatch

resident table1;

table2:

NoConcatenate

LOAD distinct key,otherField,id Resident table3;

drop Table table3;

table1bis:

NoConcatenate

load distinct id, Key, Value1, Value2

resident table1;

drop table table1;

rename table table1bis to table1;

I tried to run your script and I get this association

Is this right that the key USD|70648|xx is associated with id 2, 3, & 4? Is this what your goal is that if it finds multiple matches, you want to assign all of them?
