I have a scenario to get discrepancy records across 2 different JSON objects. I will import the 2 objects into PowerBI Desktop and name as 1 VS 2.
Therefore, what I have is:
| Table1 | Name | Industry | City | Table 2 | Name | Industry | City | |
| record 1 | A | A | C | record 1 | A | B | C | |
| record 2 | A | B | C | record 2 | A | B | C | |
| record 3 | A | B | C | record 3 | A | B | C |
The result I am looking for is a new table showing:
| New Table | Name | Industry | City |
| record 1 | Yes | No | Yes |
| record 2 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| record 3 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Could anyone point me with some direction how to get the new table generated? Appreciated a million!

@Anonymous,
Try this in Power Query:
let
Source = Table.NestedJoin(Table1, {"Record ID"}, Table2, {"Record ID"}, "Table2", JoinKind.Inner),
RenameColumns = Table.RenameColumns(
Source,
{{"Name", "Table1.Name"}, {"Industry", "Table1.Industry"}, {"City", "Table1.City"}}
),
ExpandTable2 = Table.ExpandTableColumn(
RenameColumns,
"Table2",
{"Name", "Industry", "City"},
{"Table2.Name", "Table2.Industry", "Table2.City"}
),
AddName = Table.AddColumn(
ExpandTable2,
"Name",
each if [Table1.Name] = [Table2.Name] then "Yes" else "No"
),
AddIndustry = Table.AddColumn(
AddName,
"Industry",
each if [Table1.Industry] = [Table2.Industry] then "Yes" else "No"
),
AddCity = Table.AddColumn(
AddIndustry,
"City",
each if [Table1.City] = [Table2.City] then "Yes" else "No"
),
RemoveColumns = Table.RemoveColumns(
AddCity,
{
"Table1.Name",
"Table1.Industry",
"Table1.City",
"Table2.Name",
"Table2.Industry",
"Table2.City"
}
)
in
