Combining tables for exporting

[vdog01]

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.

Thank you!

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