Append Queries not bringing data from extra column

[kzwyers]

I'm having an issue where, when I try to append two queries, the additional column from the second query is in the combined query, but all records are null.

For example:

Query A:

ID          Column1          Column2

1             aaa                   bbb

2             ccc                    ddd

Query B:

ID          Column1          Column2          Column3

3            eee                   fff                     ggg

4            hhh                   jjj                      kkk

Appending Query B to Query A should result in:

ID          Column1          Column2          Column3

1             aaa                   bbb                 null

2             ccc                    ddd                null

3            eee                   fff                     ggg

4            hhh                   jjj                      kkk

However, I'm getting this:

ID          Column1          Column2          Column3

1             aaa                   bbb                 null

2             ccc                    ddd                null

3            eee                   fff                     null

4            hhh                   jjj                     null

I'm using the ribbon buttons to do this.  Here is the code that is being auto-generated:

= Table.Combine({#"Table A", #"Table B"})

Can anyone explain why I'm getting all nulls for Column3?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I do have more information on this issue.  When I do the append, the extra column is null for all records.  When I click on the down arrow button for the column, and then click on "Load More", then I see all values show up.  But, once I click on OK, it referts back to the column being null for all records.

However, if, immediately after clicking on "Load More", I filter on any one value, that value will be visible.  But, as soon as I choose "Select All", they all go back to null again.

Thanks all for your help, but I think I've figured it out.  The append is actually working.  It's just that the preview isn't showing all records (the actual tables are much larger than what my example shows).  I'm new to PowerBI, and didn't realize that this was due to the preview.

Thanks again for your help!
