Hello!
I currently have 3 queries pulling from different sources. I have summarized each of these into summary tables that contain the ID column. All I need to do is get a comprehensive list of IDs from all 3 tables joined into one. I have looked into Union, NaturalInnerJoin, and CrossJoin but those all seem to be some variation of combining only rows that are found in all tables. I know that some of my IDs will be in all 3 tables but some will only appear in one. How can I get a final master list of IDs into one table?
Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@aallman assuming your 3 tables called table 1, table 2 and table 3
you can use following DAX to create a new tables:
ID Table =
DISTINCT (
UNION (
SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table1, "Id", Table1[Id] ),
SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table2, "Id", Table2[Id] ),
SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table3, "Id", Table3[Id] )
)
)

thank you this worked! I was not doing distinct and I think that was messing it up.

I think he mentioned that he has tried UNION and it didnt work for him.
@SachinNandanwar understood but not sure how he used it, without knowing hard to tell. The expression I gave will work 100%.
