Merging Data

Hi can anyone help me with merging data

 

I have 2 table which I neeed to merge, but I dont have any relationship to this table

 

the reason why I need to merge is, I want to combined the values from 2 different tables

 

table 1

 

Type   Average

A         15

B         11

C         10

D         9

 

table 2

TypeCategory  Avg

E                       15

F                        16

G.                       9

H.                       5

 

so this should results of

 

Category    Avg

A.                15

B.                11

C.                10
D.                9

Hi @tebtim19 

Go to Power Query
In table1 and rename the column, "Type" as "Categoty" and "Average" as "AVG"
In table2 and rename the column, "TypeCategory" as "Categoty"

Go to Append or Append as New and marge the data

Hio @tebtim19 ,

 

I think you a few options here. 

 

One way would be to rename the columns for one of the tables and then use the Append Queries function in Power Query:

Another way would be to use the UNION function in DAX:

Here the code:

NewTable2 = UNION (Table1, Table2)

 

Does this help? 🙂

How about if one of the column is have more data than the other column. For example?

 

table 1

 

Type   Average

A         15

B         11

C         10

D         9

 

table 2

TypeCategory  Avg

E                       15

F                        16

G.                       9

H.                       5

I                         1

J                         2

 

so this should results of

 

Category    Avg

A.                15

B.                11

C.                10
D.                9

E.                15
F.                 16

G.                 9

H.                5

I                   1

J                   2

HI @tebtim19 

For example , If you have 4 rows in one table1 and 150 rows in another table2.
Append in Power Query 
and Union in Power BI Desktop will both works

It is not depends on the ROWS number in both table, The column name should be same when you going to append two or more tables.

 

Go to Power Query
In table1 and rename the column, "Type" as "Categoty" and "Average" as "AVG"
In table2 and rename the column, "TypeCategory" as "Categoty"

Go to Append or Append as New and marge the data

 

Hope this notes helps you
