Combining tables for exporting
Hello all, I have an issue that I'm trying to resolve.
Let's say I have two tables
Table 1 has 2 columns
| col1 | col2 |
| a | 1 |
| b | 1 |
| c | 1 |
Table 2 has 3 columns and is joined to table 1 by col1 (1:many)
| col1 | col2 |
| a | aa |
| b | 123 |
| b | aaa |
| c | bb |
I also have a two tab Power BI report that has the two tables as separate tables, eg, here the report is filtered where col1 = 'b'
I would like to get a second tab which combines both table 1 and table 2 so it can be exported as 1 single file, rather than having to do a separate export for table 1 and table 2?
I tried creating new Merged table of Table 1 and Table 2, but the filter doesn't seem to work, in that the combined table seems to include all the rows,
I tried copying the filters from the first tab and syncing them but this doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions I can try?
Hi vdog01,
Based on your description, I have made a test with your data sample and I could export the data of combined table with filter like below.
I don't merge the two table, I append the two table in Query Editor.
More details, you could have a reference of the attachment.
Best Regards,

Thank you!
I think I was making my solution too complicated. This is a much simpler solution!
