Hi,
I am sure that there is an efficient solution to this, but I'm really not sure how to word my question to google in a way that gives me a helpful answer.
I am trying to make an efficient "part number generator".
This is the way it needs to work:
Table 1: Materials
This table will hold a few hundred different materials.
Table 2: Sizes
This table holds thousands of different sizes.
Table 3: Part Numbers
This table will take each individual material and concatenate that material with every size.
I have managed to complete this task with "counters" in what I consider to be an inefficient method.
Is there a better way to do this using a purpose built excel function or Power Query?
Please see the attached spreadsheet for examples.
The "GOAL" tab provides the raw data. The "inefficient method" tab shows how I have done it in the past.
