    This will work:

    = Table.Combine({#"Table A", Table.SelectRows(#"Table B", each not List.Contains(List.Buffer(#"Table A"[Job NO]), [Job NO]))})

    I would suggest you to use a Join, applying LeftAnti. Here an example

    let
        A = 
        let
            Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSAeJYnWglIyDLCMwyBrKMlWJjAQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Job NO" = _t, Cost = _t]),
            #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Job NO", Int64.Type}, {"Cost", Int64.Type}})
        in
            #"Changed Type",
        B = 
        let
            Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSAeJYnWglIyDLCMwyA7KMwSxzIMtEKTYWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Job NO" = _t, Cost = _t]),
            #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Job NO", Int64.Type}, {"Cost", Int64.Type}})
        in
            #"Changed Type",
        
        AddTableBtoAUsingTableNestedJoin = Table.Combine
        (
            {
                A,
                Table.RemoveColumns
                (
                    Table.NestedJoin
                    (
                        B,
                        "Job NO",
                        A,
                        "Job NO",
                        "A",
                        JoinKind.LeftAnti
                    ),
                    {"A"}
                )
            }
        )
        
    in
        AddTableBtoAUsingTableNestedJoin

     

    Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

    This will work:

    = Table.Combine({#"Table A", Table.SelectRows(#"Table B", each not List.Contains(List.Buffer(#"Table A"[Job NO]), [Job NO]))})
