Append tables with same columns using DAX

Hi friends!

 

Basically is that, i want to merge or append tables that has the same columns (same quantity and same name) using DAX. I know how to do it in Power Query but I read on a post that DAX shows better performance when is about refreshing time than Power Query. 

 

Does anyone knows how to do a calculated table with DAX to merge multiple tables?

Hi @AlexisKMX ,

Please try below dax function:

UNION: same as the append feature in Power Query

NATURALINNERJOIN/NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN: same as the merge feature in Power Query

For more details, you can read related document:
