I have a table called "220_reference" with a column name "Part Number" having
a sample value of below:
4047122(All Dash no.), 4057222(All Dash no.), 4058222(All Dash no.),
4060122(All Dash no.)
The entire value is in one cell representing the "Part Number"
column(defined as general type so text I suppose).
Simple enough. But what I need to do is take any number that has "(All Dash
no.)" after it and search through a column in another table to retrieve any
rows that have that number(text) in it. The other table name is "220" with
one column named pn1_part_no_oem.
A sample of rows (also defined as general type in excel) in the 2nd table is
as follows:
4047122-13
4058222
4058222-705
4057222
4057222-2
4058222-704
4057222-1
4057222-7
4058222-701
4047122
4047122-12
Once retrieved(found), I need to format the output with commas between.
OK, not done though. If each number in the 1st table has "(All Dash no.)"
after it, then I need to provide all numbers from each in the same new cell
with commas between all of them. So, if all 4 numbers above have 4 matches
each, the new cell will have 16 values with commas between. This means that
each number will need to be checked one-at-a-time for the value "(All Dash
no.)" after it, and then process the query for similar values in the 2nd
table's pn1_part_no_oem column.
Given the sample data above, then the new cell's contents would be:
4058222,4058222-701,4058222-704,4058222-705,4057222,4057222-2,4057222-1,4057222-7,4047122,4047122-12,4047122-13
Can anybody help me on this impossible mission?
