Data view

[Sonne]

Hello,

I have a problem with the view of connected data from 2 tables . 

I have 2 excel files which I import : 

table 1 has the following structure : 

excel file 1
unique id	organisation	planed money
11111	org 1	10

Table 2 has the follwing structure: 

unique id	organisation	person id	spent money
11111	org  1	1234	8
11111	org  1	1235	6

In Power BI i want to see the planed and the spent money . I connect on unique id, but i always get the planned values in all columns:

I get something like this:

output in Power BI table
uniqu id	organisation	person id	planed money	spent money
11111	org  1	1234	10	8
11111	org  1	1235	10	6

I have no idea how to realize this in PBI.  Is this possible to have it in 1 table ? Maybe like this: 

uniqu id	organisation	person id	planed money	spent money
11111	org  1		10
11111	org  1	1234		8
11111	org  1	1235		6

Thanks i got it working now. Problem was the different spelling of the column names.

Hi @Sonne ,

In the power query, the merge logic of append is based on matching the names of the fields. Column names that do not exist in the original table will form a new column and will be null at the corresponding values.

If you don't want to display these null values, you can refer to the following operation.

If the problem is still not resolved, could you further describe your requirements and provide screenshots of your expectations accordingly. I will be able to answer your questions as soon as possible. Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
Henry

if I append, then the column "spent money" is added, with the value null, but the rows from the second table are included.

result is 

unique id	organisation	planed money	spent money
11111	org 1	10	null

Can it be , because the ids are the same? in the example you mentioned, the ids are different in table 1 and table 2

@Sonne , Append the two tables in power query, that is one of the way .

Second way it create common dimensions for both tables and then display planed money, spent money measures using those common tables
