I have not to check the file , but it should happen like

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/selectcolumns-function-dax
union (
selectcolumns(filter(Table,<condition>), columns....),
selectcolumns(filter(Table2,<condition>), columns....),
selectcolumns(filter(Table3,<condition>), columns....),
selectcolumns(filter(Table4,<condition>), columns....),
selectcolumns(filter(Table5,<condition>), columns....)
)

 

You can use summarize in place of select column

You can use distinct on top of union if needed
