Merging an Import table and a calculated Table

Hello,

 

I have a table X which we is loaded via Import.  And a second table Y which is created by 

DISTINCT(
    SELECTCOLUMNS(.  i.e. a calcualted table
 
I'm trying to do a merge on these tables but PBI doesn't seem to recognize table Y - the calculated table.  Is this correct?  Cannot do merges on calcualted tables?
 
Thanks,
Dan

Please define what you mean by "merge" - UNION or NATURALxxxJOIN ?
