Append Query not bringing in all data
Hi! I have (3) queries in my application that represent 2017, 2018, and 2019 sales by period/year. I appended queries 2 and 3 to query 1 to get a holistic view of all the data. When I vi...

Hello Brysonds,
is there an update on how you fixed this problem?

I am having an issue appending queries as well. I have 4 queries, each representing a calendar quarter, so Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 of 2023. Each query contains identical columns: ticket number, open date, location, etc.
I can append 3 queries, no problem, but the 4th query does not bring in the "open date" data. I have tried numerous methods to append the queries.
- Get data from each query individually and then try to append as new. I have also tried to do a simple append (not as new). Same problem.
- Each individual query shows up correctly. Only when I append them do I lose the "open date" data in the Q4 query.
- I have loaded all the queries before attempting to append.
- These are all connections in the same data model, but I have also loaded them as tables and then tried to append the tables in PowerQuery Editor and I have the same issue, except that sometimes the "open date" data from the other tables do not show data.
- Get Data from Folder and append as new.
- In this scenario, Q4 data is the only one that does not show up for some reason.
- The preview of the data looks good, but once in PQ Editor to transform data, "open date" data is lost.
- Copy and Paste only selected tables into new files (just to eliminate the possibility of hidden worksheets causing issues), but have the same problem.
- I have ensured that the column types are all the same.
- I should add that, the unusual part is that if Q4 date data is brought in, then Q1-Q3 dates are not brought in. If Q1-Q3 date data is properly brought in, then Q4 data is missing. I have double-checked the data in Q4 compared to the others and I do not see any obvious issues.
Any ideas on what's happening?
