Hi @Anonymous
Here is a sample file with the solution https://www.dropbox.com/t/2JpsLFnnm9GrWpHL
Table3 =
UNION (
GENERATE (
Table1,
SELECTCOLUMNS (
FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Number] = Table1[Number] ),
"@Name", Table2[Name],
"@No .", Table2[No.]
)
),
ADDCOLUMNS (
FILTER (
Table1,
NOT ( Table1[Number] IN VALUES ( Table2[Number] ) )
),
"@Name", "",
"@No .", ""
)
)
@tamerj1thanks again this works briliant. Is it possible to add another filter function to that it is looking for two matches to be true as part of this? -
FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Number] = Table1[Number] ),

Hi,
I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below DAX formula.
It is for creating a new table.
New_Table =
VAR _nonumberlistintable2 =
EXCEPT ( VALUES ( Table1[Number] ), VALUES ( Table2[Number] ) )
VAR _filtertable1 =
ADDCOLUMNS (
FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Number] IN _nonumberlistintable2 ),
"No1.", BLANK (),
"Name1", BLANK (),
"Number1", BLANK ()
)
RETURN
UNION (
GENERATE ( ALL ( Table1 ), FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Number] = Table1[Number] ) ),
_filtertable1
)
Hi @Anonymous
can you build relationships between the two tables? Are trying to create a new calculated table or just a table visual?
