Import by other column values

Hello all,

I have this table as an example:

TextNumber
a1
b2
c3
a4
b5
d6

 

I want to get the value from the 'Number' column that corresponds to a particular value from the 'Text' column.

As an example: 

I want to get the 6 that corresponds to the value d.

Can anyone help me?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

How you do this really depends on what you then subsequently want to do with it ...

So you can catch it in a variable using script similar to the below ... if you then want to use it as a variable somewhere in your script.

Cheers,

Chris.

data:
LOAD * Inline [
Text, Number
a, 1
b, 2
c, 3
a, 4
b, 5
d, 6
];

data_filter:
NoConcatenate
Load
	*
Resident data
WHERE Number=6;

vText=Peek('Text',0,'data_filter');
