    Hey Eyelyn Qin, Thanks for you efforts, the solution works until unless data type of 'Reference' column from File 1 changed to 'Text'.

    I realized that 'SUMMARIZE' funtion creating 'Code' data type as Σ which I am unable to convert to 'Text' 

     

    Is there possible solution to if data type is 'Text' for 'Referecnce and Code' column?

     

    Thank you again!

    Hi kinmin ,

     

    Actually as long as the types of the columns to be matched in several tables are the same, it does not matter whether it is the Text type or the Number type.

     

    Code in New Table will be the same type as well.

                        

     

    Best Regards,
    Eyelyn Qin
