Append Query Not Working Properly
Hi, I am trying to append these three example tables using Append Queries and it appears there's an issue as PBI is not appending all StoreID's into the same column.
Table 1
| StoreID | Salesperson | Date | Company |
| 10 | GWA | 5/6/2019 | LLC |
| 21 | JNJ | 5/7/2019 | LLC |
| 10 | GWA | 5/6/2019 | LLC |
| 59 | OPI | 5/8/2019 | LLC |
Table 2
| Salesperson | StoreID | Date |
| TYI | 10 | 5/8/2019 |
| OGI | 59 | 5/9/2019 |
| OPI | 23 | 5/7/2019 |
| REW | 10 | 5/3/2019 |
Table 3
| Date | Salesperson | StoreId |
| 5/3/2019 | GWA | 10 |
| 5/4/2019 | HIO | 55 |
| 5/6/2019 | CIO | 10 |
I should mention that I manually entered the data in PBI, it is not file upload or query so the data format is date, string and integer in all three cases.
This is the result I get when I append these three tables.
| StoreID | Salesperson | Date | Company | StoreId |
| 10 | GWA | 5/6/2019 | LLC | null |
| 21 | JNJ | 5/7/2019 | LLC | null |
| 10 | GWA | 5/6/2019 | LLC | null |
| 59 | OPI | 5/8/2019 | LLC | null |
| 10 | TYI | 5/8/2019 | null | null |
| 59 | OGI | 5/9/2019 | null | null |
| 23 | OPI | 5/7/2019 | null | null |
| 10 | REW | 5/3/2019 | null | null |
| null | GWA | 5/3/2019 | null | 10 |
| null | HIO | 5/4/2019 | null | 55 |
| null | CIO | 5/6/2019 | null | 10 |
In the last three rows, the StoreID values should be in column 1 not column 5. Also, column 5 shouldn't even be there since the StoreID (column 5) is StoreID from column 1. The data format is the same and the column name is the same.
Please help! I need to apply this logic on much larger datasets asap.
Thank you!
