Hi Anonymous ,
Assume your data is like that.
We can use merge instead of append to work on it.
M code for your reference.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUfIvSsxLT1WK1YlWMgJyfRKzgZxYAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, County = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}, {"County", type text}}) in #"Changed Type"let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlSK1YGRRjAyFgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}}), #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Changed Type", {"ID"}, #"Table (3)", {"ID"}, "Table (3)", JoinKind.LeftOuter), #"Expanded Table (3)" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Table (3)", {"County"}, {"Table (3).County"}) in #"Expanded Table (3)"If it doesn't meet your requirement, Kindly share your sample data and excepted result to me if you don't have any Confidential Information.

Did you try the Fill->Down in Query editor?
If this helps, mark it as a solution.
Kudos are nice too.
