@ChoiJunghoon ,

Try this measure with Table A ID and table B text

You can create a power Bi table like this even in direct query mode

addcolumns(crossjoin(selectcolumns(TableA, "IDA",TableA[ID]),TableB),"New COl",[IDA] & [TEXT])

Hi @ChoiJunghoon ,

 

(Note: My tableA has one more row of data than yours, so the result is different.)

1. Create a calculated table 'TableC'

TableC = TableA

2. Create two calculated columns.

Text = 
LOOKUPVALUE(
    TableB[Text],
    TableB[ID], 'TableC'[ID]
)
New Aadd Column to Connect to  another table = CONCATENATE( TableC[ID], TableC[Text] )

You can also use ADDCOLUMNS() function to merge formulas together.

Hi @ChoiJunghoon 

Below are the steps I followed to create the required table TableC.

Got o Modelling on the menu bar and select the option as in the screenshot below.

and insert the below code in that formula bar that pops up.

 

TableC = addcolumns(crossjoin(selectcolumns(TableA, "ID",TableA[ID]),'TableB'),"New Aadd Column to Connect to  another table",CONCATENATE('TableB'[ID],TableB[TEXT]))

 

And you will see a new table on the Fields section.
