Merging but getting duplicates

I have about 7 queries but I am only trying to get two to work currently.

The first data set is 

KEY     ID          Date

137577  10/10/2023
298745   10/8/2023
387548  10/6/2023
387548  10/7/2023
387548  10/4/2023

 

The second data set is 

KEY    ID           Start of Activity

137577  7:00:00 AM
298745  11:00:00 AM
387548  3:00:00 PM
387548  3:30:00 PM
387548  6:00:00 PM

 

When I combined them I get a duplicate of the times and ID's I only want a row to show like this

KEY    ID           Date               Start of Activity

1        37577    10/10/2023    7:00:00 AM

 

I hope that makes sense, thank you for any help.

@ipon70 The first 2 are easy, how do you want to deal with the 3rd one?

If my solution proved useful, I'd be delighted to receive Kudos. When you put effort into asking a question, it's equally thoughtful to acknowledge and give Kudos to the individual who helped you solve the problem. It's a small gesture that shows appreciation and encouragement! ❤

Feel free to email me with any of your BI needs.

I just figured once I had a solution I could just repeat the process and include the rest.  But if there is an easier way, I am all about learning.
