    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    One sample for your reference, please check the following steps as below.

     

    1. Insert index column in both table in power query.

    2. Close and apply, then we use the LOOKUPVALUE to get the excepted result.

    Self in 40407 = LOOKUPVALUE(GetIssues[Self],GetIssues[Index],'49407'[Index])

     

    For more details, please check the pbix as attached.

    Thanks, it works, but I am looking to get all the rows from GetIssues [self], in the 49407.

    In 49407 there are only 3 rows but I need all the rows from GetIssues [self].

    Is there any way to have all the rows?

    Thanks in advance

      Quick question that it might resolve my issue.

      How can I create a new table in the query editor and add a column using the LOOKUPVALUE as mentioned before?

      I am looking to create a new table and copy all the information from GetIssues[Self] to a new table with a new column.

      Thanks in advance for your help
