Combining 2 columns from 2 different tables into one column

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Please kindly can you help!

I have 2 tables as showing below 

Table 1 name = "TableA"

DLL Business Unit	Opportunity Name/ FO Application #	Customer Name	Account Name (Originator)	First Docs In Date/Time	Net NBV	Sales Support Owner	Sales Stage	Sales Sub Stage	Reason for Audit Rejection
Constr. Transp. & Industrial	8.2621E+13	D O Constable Contractor	Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd	25/03/2020 08:43		UK_SPOC_CV_Flow_WIP	4.Accepted	4.5 Clarification on docs	Credit;Fraud Checklist

Table 2 name = "TableB"

BU	Contract No	Date & Time Received	Customer name
Constr. Transp. & Industrial	82621450019119	26/03/2020 10:08	JHD Bowen Building Contractor

Question Please;

- I would like to extract all the data in column "Opportunity Name/ FO Application #" from TableA, and all the data in column "Contract No" in TableB. As you notice there is no direct link between the 2 tables. Is there a solution to pull all the data from the 2 columns in to one column (only distinct value)? Many thanks 

Kind Regards

Sarmad Dra

Hi  @Anonymous ,

Create a table using below dax expression:

Table C= UNION(ALL(TableA[Opportunity Name/ FO Application #]) , ALL(TableB[Contract No]) ))

Table C= UNION(ALL(TableA[Opportunity Name/ FO Application #]) , ALL(TableB[Contract No]) ))

I am getting this error "Too few arguments were passed to the UNION function. The minimum argument count for the function is 2."

Thank you,

You can create a new table like this

distinct(union(all(TableA[Opportunity Name/ FO Application #]) , all(TableB[Contract No]) ))

Hi @Anonymous ，

It seems that you are missing a ")"that will occur such error:

I tested again and the function works fine.

Here is a sample .pbix file you can refer to.

Yes, you would do this in Power Query using a Cartesian Join, but I'll need good data to play with. See the links below. I cannot use what you pasted in because it is not in a table format and I'll spend more time cleaning up random spaces and special char 160 spaces than actually working on the problem.
