Merge tables in Power BI

Hi,

 

I need to merge tables in Power BI. Whenever I merge tables, I am getting cross join situation. Instead one row I am getting much more values, seems it generates all possible combinations. I understand that it need more columns to form a key but actually I have two related columns which unfortunately have duplicates. So how to resolve my issue?

HI

 

Bellow you have the Join Kind Options. I Guess you are looking for the inner Join

If you are not familiar with them, please check this article.

Also, if none of those joins fulfill your needs, you should probably do a Full Outter Join and transform the subsequent data in powerQuery

 

Kind regards,
