Append Tables Issue in Power BI
I'm having an issue when tryingto appending two tables together w/ a single reference category (In the below, the category is col1 -brand). I'd like for the resulting table to have only 1 col for all Lats, and 1 col for all Longs, but it creates a new column for each of the seperate tab columns except the Brand column..
Any help with my issue below would be extremely helpful!
Data is broken out per the below:
Table 1: Brand Index
Col1 - Brand
Col2 - Index
Col3 - Latitude
Col4 - Longitude
Table 2: Brand Locations
Col1 - Brand
Col2 - Latitude
Col3 - Longitude
I'd like to merge the datasets so that the result shows:
Col1- Brand
Col2- Type (Index vs Location)
Col3- Index
Col4- Latitude
Col5- Longitude
But when I try to merge the datasets, or append them, I end up with two columns for Latitude and 2 columsn for Longitude. Any advise here would be greatly appreciated.

Hi gujames,
When appending queries the columns names need to be the same in both tables otherwise the append will create a column for each different name.
Be aware that if you have a space or a cap differende in the names of the columns the query editor will consider it a different column..
