Searching the right customer in the tables to provide possible choices

Hey guys, I have this two tables:

item_idFood_nameFood_PriceClassificationClassifications
1hamburguer10unhealthy
2ice cream11unhealthy
3steak12unhealthy
4bread13healthy
5coke14unhealthy
6juice1healthy
7green salad2healthy
8mango3healthy
9ham15healthy
10cesar salad16unhealthy
11chicken8healthy
12fish8healthy

Ajuice0.5healthycoke
Bgreen salad1.5healthycesar salad
Cmango2.5healthyice cream
Dchicken7healthyhamburguer
Efish7healthyhamburguer
Ftofu4healthyhamburguer
Gfish10healthyhamburguer

Classifications means that the food is replacement for that (ie. item_id = A , juice is a replacement for Classifications = coke),

I have another table with the customer orders;

Customeritem_id
Carmen1
Carmen2
Carmen5
Carmen7
Carmen9
Betty10
Betty2
Betty3
Lindsey1
Lindsey4
Joseph7
Joseph8
Joseph6
Sergio3
Sergio1

For example: Carmen ordered item_id = 1 (hamburguer)

I would like to have a table that shows healthy food that has replacements, the customers that have ordered something unhealthy that could be replaced for that food, and customers all possible choices (like table below)

item_idFood_nameReplacementCustomerFood_PriceSaving
Dchickenhamburguer replacementCarmen73

I have created a Qlikview for this working script. This showing customer part is the one not working properly. Could you guys help me out with that?

The table is called "Final", the one that I would like to have it working...

Hi Julio,

You just need to join table to it self

[Products]:

LOAD

item_id,

Food_name,
Food_Price,
Classification,
Classifications
FROM .... ;

LEFT JOIN (Products)

Classifications AS Food_Name,

Food_Name AS Replacement

Resident Product;

Then you will be able to do what you need.

Regards,
Sergey

I didn't get quite right this part...

The thing is, in fact, the customers did not ordered the foods in the Final table, but that food is a possible replacement for that customer... So, I wanted to see a table with the customer's possible choices of healthy food...

How do I achieve that?

Hello Julio,

can customer order positions with item_id A-G or those positions are only references for substitutes?

Why price of juice with 6 and A item_id is different?

Those item_id are references to the Foods...

This is just a different kind of juice, I made some tests using the same Food_names, because sometimes we might have equal names, and this script cannot fail in this case also...

Customers can order anything they want from 1-13 and A-G... It's just that A-G they can be a replacement for a unhealthy food...

I want that final table to show the possibility that each customer have to order that food. There is a picture that would ilustrate that:

i think this script should work for you:

LOAD Customer,

    item_id

FROM

(biff, embedded labels, table is Arkusz2$);

LOAD item_id,

    Food_name,

    Food_Price,

    Classification

FROM

(biff, embedded labels, table is Arkusz1$);

LOAD Food_name as replacement,

    Food_Price as replacement_price,

    Classifications as Food_name

FROM

(biff, embedded labels, table is Arkusz1$);
