Hello,
I have the following table in Power Query:
| Key | Plant_Material | Plant_Area | Seed_Date | Seed_Total | |||
| AA1123 | PP STAFF 1 | 15 | 30/11/2023 | 149 | |||
| AA1123 | PP STRINGS 2 | 134 | 30/11/2023 | 149 |
The issue is that I'm building a report where I'm adding to that table (with Merge button), the following columns by Key:
| Key | Replant_Material | Replant_Area | Replant_Date | |||
| AA1123 | XR MAPS 3 | 11 | 23/01/2024 | |||
| AA1123 | QP SPLT 2 | 93 | 23/01/2024 |
But the problem is that I end up with the followin table with 4 rows instead of 2:
| Key | Plant_Material | Plant_Area | Seed_Date | Plant_Area_Total | Replant_Area | Replant_Date | Replant_Material | |||||||
| AA1123 | PP STAFF 1 | 15 | 30/11/2023 | 149 | 11 | 23/01/2024 | XR MAPS 3 | |||||||
| AA1123 | PP STRINGS 2 | 134 | 30/11/2023 | 149 | 11 | 23/01/2024 | XR MAPS 3 | |||||||
| AA1123 | PP STAFF 1 | 15 | 30/11/2023 | 149 | 93 | 23/01/2024 | QP SPLT 2 | |||||||
| AA1123 | PP STRINGS 2 | 134 | 30/11/2023 | 149 | 93 | 23/01/2024 | QP SPLT 2 |
And I should keep the 2 rows with something like this:
| Key | Plant_Material | Plant_Area | Seed_Date | Plant_Area_Total | Replant_Area | Replant_Date | Replant_Material | |||||||
| AA1123 | PP STAFF 1 | 15 | 30/11/2023 | 149 | 11 | 23/01/2024 | XR MAPS 3 | |||||||
| AA1123 | PP STRINGS 2 | 134 | 30/11/2023 | 149 | 93 | 23/01/2024 | QP SPLT 2 |
I believe there is not a minimal key to join both tables by Key+Material because I'm building that table as a flat table with all columns, but is there any way to add those column so that my original table don't add more rows?
Thank you!!!
Solved! Go to Solution.
You could add an index column to both tables and Merge on that. The order of both tables will have to be correct before adding the index.
