dynamic select according to field name

talc_87
6 - Meteoroid

Hi

How can I perform a dynamic select according a spreadsheet which is entered by the user?

 

I have 2 tables

Table 1, contains financial data of public companies. The table is on Azure DB.

 

 symbol

cash

revenue

expenses

AAPL

xxx

xxx

xxx

AMZN

xxx

xxx

xxx

 

 

The user will input an Excel spreadsheet which details the symbols and the filed he like to extract from table 1

For example:

 

symbol

field

AAPL

revenue

AAPL

expenses

 

The workflow will extract records for the relevant record for the symbol.

You can change the user template anyhow you want.

 

How do I perform the dynamic select of the fields?

I cannot use transpose tool, since the dataset is very big .

 

Thanks, Tal
