In my Power BI Desktop, I do not see Merge Queries option in the Home ribbon. All I see is Get data, etc, Transform data, Refresh, New measure, More visuals, Publish. I do not see the Combine or Merge Queries options under Report, Data or Model. Is there something I need to activate through the main Options menu under File? I am using version 2.108.997.0 64-bit (August 2022). Thanks!
Click 'Transform data' first

Hi @Anonymous ,
Question is, what are you trying to achieve? But generally speaking you have 2 options. Use relationships or use Power Query.
In Power Query you have exactly the same logic of LEFT / RIGHT JOIN. Just a note, in Power Query the operation you search is called "Merge" (Join).
