Append tables
- 5 years ago
There are at least two good ways you could do this.
1. Merge your second table into the first using the first three columns, and then write measures like this
Qty Sold - Actual = SUMX(Table, Table[Qty Sold] - Table[Qty Target])
2. Add a custom column called "Type" (or whatever you want) with text values of "Sold" and "Target" in the two tables, and then append them (load only the appended table) and then write measures like
Qty Sold - Actual =
var soldqty = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Qty]), Table[Type] = "Sold")
var targetqty = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Qty]), Table[Type] = "Target")
return soldqty - targetqty
Note in both cases, it is recommended to use measures instead of creating calculated columns.

So the following steps in Power Query:
1. Duplicate the Sales Amount Column2. Rename the Qty Sold Sales Amount to something line Qty Sold-Target and Sales Amount Target
3. Select Table 1 and choose append as a new query
rashidanwar , rename the last two columns in the second table. Append in power query and add index column. Use the same index column in visual (not summarized)
