Merge another column from another table, the current table is using the function "SELECTCOLUMNS"
Hello community,
I'm creating a new table "A" using "SELECTCOLUMNS" function. until here no problem.
the issue starts when I want to add a new columns from another table to the new table "A".
I tried to use "UNION" but got this message:
"each table argument of 'union' must have the same number of columns"
Any help?
many thanks!
Hi Anonymous ,
UNION will merge two tables with the same number of columns. The reason you get this error is that one table has one column but another table has many columns.
If you want horizontal combine two tables please consider using CROSSJOIN() Vertical splicing tables, using UNION().
or use Power Query Editor,please refer this article.
