Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello @ksivaganesh99 ,
Just loaded the tables in a PBI Report and tried to do a model: it was not possible with One to Many relationships as Table B and C are containing duplicate rows,
Removed the duplicates and tried to do a model in file "Tables A B C D.pbix". Also did a PQ Merge from the tables and you have the results on the second page.
Still I wanted to do the merge as I initially wanted and built another file (Tables A B C D (B and C with duplicates.pbix) with two solutions inside as I don't know all the details of the hierachy that you need.
As I can't attach the files please leave an email address and I'll be glad to send them to you for detailed study.
If you liked my solution please give it a thumbs up 👍.
If I did answer your question please mark my post as a solution ✅.
Thank you !

Looking at the structure Merge is the best option. But this has been a real data Append can be explored.
Refer to this link: https://radacad.com/append-vs-merge-in-power-bi-and-power-query
Try to use merge
Hello @ksivaganesh99 ,
I would connect to each table with Power Query, build a separate query to merge all of them and load only the last query to the model and build a Matrix table out of it,
If you could post the sample excel file I could give it a try,
