Adding rows based on a unique value

Hi

I am fairly new to M Query and need some help with the following:

I have two Queries. Query1 and Query 2. Both have unique values. I need the column in Query 2 to be added to Query 1 for each row in Query2. It is better explained as per below:

Final Outcome:

Any tips or tricks and guidance will be highly appreciated.

 

THANKS!

Hi,

 

To perform the cross join, firstly, you will need to add a custom column in both the table and give a value as = 1

Then do a left join from query 1 to query 2 on Custom column. Lastly, you will need to expand the column.

If you need any other help, let me know.

5. Filter out the null values from project name and detlete the column attribute.

If this works pleae mark it as a soltuion. 

Thanks.

Thank you very much!
So simple. I was looking at all sorts of things such as Table Combine etc. Most searches seems to guide towards using a "sledge hammer" for what I needed. 🙂

 

Many THANKS again!
