How to join two tables with "Merge query" feature with a new key added to both tables?

[Anonymous]

I have 2 tables SCD and Fosa. I want to have SCD to Fosa M: 1 relationship but currently it is M: N relationship.

I tried with the "Merge Query" option. I had created 2 new columns (internel key) with both of the tables as there were no common columns.But  when I tried two use the new internel key with "Merge Query" option but it did not reflect the new key in both of the tables even after I refreshed it. How can I use this feature?

Or should I use dax or M query to create left outer join?

What are the internal key columns you merged the queries on?

[Anonymous]

 internal key is a combination of date and a specific column in both the tables..

In fosa it is : 

Internal_Key = FoSa[Stichtag] & "_" & FoSa[Depot] &"_" & FoSa[WP ID]

In SCD it is like : 

Internal_Key = SCD[Stichtag] & "_" & SCD[Depot] & "_" & SCD[WP ID]

So in the merge query option the internal key column is not appearing

Hi @Anonymous 

I would suggest you create the two columns in query editor.Then you could see them and merge them in query editor.If they are created in dax in data view,you may not see them in query editor and cannot use them with merge function.
