    Hi dub,

     

    After loading all these tables (Combine, Table1, Table2,...Table10) into Power BI desktop, you should first Append tables from Table1 to Table10 in Query Editor mode. Suppose the new appended table is called Table11, then, in report view mode, you can use LookUpValue function to  create a new calculated column Combine[Values] in Combine Table.

     

    Values=LOOKUPVALUE(Table11[Number], Table11[Id], Combine[Id])

     

    Best regards,
