Re: Need help to filter rows using slice

I have two tables.
Table one name “Data”, with a column named “Status”. Column Status have few values such as “Open”, “Close”, “Pending”.
Table two name “Filter” with a column named “Filter.key” and a column named “Filter.value”.
The value of column “Filter.value” is enumlist in this data format “Open , Pending , ElseValue”.
I can retrieve the data in “Filter.value” column by this expression
LOOKUP ("search.value", "Filter", "Filter.key", "Filter.value")
and I believe that the return value is text in this format “Open , Close , ElseValue”

Using Slice, I can list all rows in table Data with Status: Open, Pending as below:
IN ([Status] , LIST("Open","Pending"))

but I am unable to archive what i want with following expression:
IN ([Status] , LOOKUP ("search.value", "Filter", "Filter.key", "Filter.value"))
or this
IN ([Status] , SPLIT(LOOKUP ("search.value", "Filter", "Filter.key", "Filter.value"), " , ")

What should I do in this case?

The first argument to LOOKUP() should be the value you want to find as an expression. Your examples suggest you may be trying to supply the name of a column as a quoted string ("search.value"), which won’t work. If search.value is the name of a column, try LOOKUP([_THISROW].[search.value], "Filter", "Filter.key", "Filter.value").
