Getting first and second row from related table
Anonymous , what is a relationship? do you need it one one side or many side ?
as of now it seems like
first name = maxx(filter(Table1, Table[ID]=1), Table[NAme])
Second name = maxx(filter(Table1, Table[ID]=2), Table[NAme])
refer 4 ways to copy data from one table to another

Thanks for helping with this. As i said below though in response to amitchandak , the "Id" column is identity, not the row number. I want the "first" and "second" rows, not the rows with "Id=1" and "Id=2"
In other words, the table could look like this:
Id FK Name
1 100 Foo
2 100 Bar
3 101 Blah
4 101 Paa
So, for FK 100, i want id's 1 & 2, but for FK 101, i want id's 3&4. So the "first" and "second" row, for each "FK".
Hi Anonymous ,
As you explained, you can try to add an index column in Power Query. Then you can get the 'first/second' row.
If you want to add an index column with the grouping, refer to

Hi, i dont see how this is going to help. It's going to order all the rows in the table. I want the first and second row for each FK. The index column as far as i can see will just give all the rows a row number.
Let me try and re-explain it..
Table 1
- Table1Id (PK)
- SomeOtherTableRow1Name -> this is what i want to set
- SomeOtherTableRow2Name -> this is what i want to set
Table 2
- Table2Id (PK)
- Table1Id (FK)
- Name
So there is a 1..* relationship. I'm trying to fill in the data for the main table, with the first and second row for each corresponding "many" set in the other table. Does that make sense?
If i was going to do this in SQL, i would use ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Table1Id ORDER BY Table2Id ASC)
