    Hi Alessandro-laba 

    You can create a new pbix file with these two tables(Merge and NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN don't support tables from Power BI datasets) and try these steps.

     

    1 Remove ‘company’ column of Table 2 in Power Query

     

    2 Rename the ‘email address’ column of Table 1(NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN doesn’t support Duplicate column names used for join)

     

    3 Create a Calculated table with NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN function

    Table =
    
    VAR join_table =
    
        NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN ( Table2, Table1 )
    
    RETURN
    
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
    
            join_table,
    
            "first name", [first name],
    
            "last name", [last name],
    
            "company", [company],
    
            "Name", [Name],
    
            "country", [country],
    
            "email address", [email address]
    
        )

     

    The result looks like this:

     

    For more details, you can refer the attached pbix file.
