DAX Union creating duplicates

I have 2 tables of the same columns and column names.  Individually, they have distinct values for a certain ID column. 

When I join the 2 tables via

 

UNION(EqmtDT, EqmtDT_H)

 

, the ID column now shows no distinct values.  Why did this happen?

Hi @Anonymous 

Your tables might have IDs in commun thats why the distinct count of IDs does not eq to total rows.

There are none in common, I exported to excel and checked for duplicates and there were none.

Could you share the pbix file?
