Hi Community,

 

If there is vlookup applied in excel, then how to create reports for this? Is there any functionality related to vlookups in servicenow?

 

Thanks,

Hi @Poorva Bhawsar 

 

Now you bring the real use case 😀

 

So now it come to SN, and lets see in which tables these 2 records get stored are in same table or 2 different table?

 

It is like like I want SLA and Incident records where inc record exits in SLA table. 

 

1st Get the both field table

Then see is it same or 2 different table

3rd , how these 2 tables related like as related list or what

Create DB view or use standard reporting ( if Related list is the case ) and get the result.

It was just an example, there are so many tables and columns into this report and all are formula based.

@Poorva Bhawsar 

 

One more point, please check, is it worth building this report in SN? Like how many times this report will be used in a year / how much time it will save. As you say it is formula formula-based so might be there are few things which can't be done in SN. So check end-to-end feasibility before you start building.

it would be a scheduled report. Schedule is not decided yet. Formulas are just for the percentage calculation like blah blah field non empty values/total % like this.

 

Now i have one more question here, 

if using vlookup we are getting value of a field, then how to create that field into a servicenow custom table?

Example is given above with screenshot.

Hi @Poorva Bhawsar 

 

From the report, you can just get the match, but to store that you need to create a field in required table and store. FYI- Creating new field is customization & can be chargeable too.
