Filter table based on another table

[justin22pogi]

Just want to ask something. I have 2 tables in Powe BI. One contains a data set of 13 million rows and the other table contains one columb with the list of values I want to filter in the main table. I'm trying to create a filtered table containing only all the values in my 2nd table. Is it possible to filter based on the whole list of my 2nd table?

I'll try doing the calculate table. But why do we need to use EXCEPT?

For the Power Query using Merge as New and Inner Join, do you have a link on the guide on how to donit?

Thanks for the reply?

Below screenshots should help you:

Click on Edit Queries Which will take you to Power Query ModeHave your Table 1 and Table 2 in order and use the Join Condition as needed

Go to  Query Editor - > Select Table 1->Home -> Combine->Merge Queries-> YOur Table1 will appear default, Select Table 2, Select the joining column, Select the join Type as inner join.

You should be able to get lots of example in internet. Check the 'Combine Data ' section in this link.  Its just straight forward.

FYI you can also do this at the Power Query level, by doing a Merge as New and using Inner Join

Is one of these methods faster or more efficent than the other?

If you filter in PowerQuery, then you avoid loading all the "useless" date to the model.

Can you try this : Table = CALCULATETABLE('TABLE 1',EXCEPT(VALUES('TABLE 1'[ID]),VALUES(TABLE 2 [ID])))

This worked for my particular case. Thank you for posting.
