Separated data and dictionary

Hello,

In my fact table I have customers. Each customer can have one or more product. All the products the customer has are in one column: ID separated by mark "|".

CUST_IDPRODUCTS

2200887|200888
3200889|200890

18214609|214611|214615
19214609|214613

I would like to join the fact table with the product dictionary (product ID as a key).

How can I do this?

Best I can offer is to have a look around in the Design Blog area of Community, there are a lot of how-to posts there, but I am not exactly sure which one(s) may be helpful in your case, so I am going to let you dig around on your own to see if you can find what you need.

https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-Design-Blog/bg-p/qlik-design-blog

This sort of reminds me a bit of a Bill of Materials type use case, so maybe this post might help:

Sorry I am not of more help, but hopefully this may give you some further ideas on how to approach things.

Regards,
Brett
