Lookup Distinct Admin Names to a Blank table

Hi Everyone,

 

How do I lookup to a blank table in PowerBI?

 

I have 3 tables below.

1. Blank Table

2. Case Table

3. Task Table

 

CASE Table

TASK Table

I want to get all Admin Names into one single column and put it in the "Blank table" but case number and task number are different. How would I do that?

 

This should how it looks like:

 

Admin Name

Michael John

Chris Kyle

Kelly Mae

Jessica Jones

Daniel Thomas

Hi @Newbie22 ,

try this

Table = DISTINCT(
                 UNION(
                    SELECTCOLUMNS('Case',"Name",'Case'[Admin Name]),
                    SELECTCOLUMNS('Task',"Name",'Task'[Admin Name])
                 )
)

@Newbie22 Using power Query you can append  CASE Table and TASK Table data into a Blank table.

 

If you do not need case number field then you can remove that and remove duplicate from admin name field
