    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community

    Here's how to join two Excel files in Fabric Dataflow with an inner join based on multiple columns, considering a value in a separate column. Fabric Dataflow offers a powerful tool called Filter that allows you to achieve this conditional join.

    I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.

     

    Thank you.

      Hi Anonymous 

       

      After using the filter option, you can see the File1 that contains the columns which have only values.

      You can see the result as below as there is only one common column.

       

      I hope this information helps.

       

      Thank you.
