Merging two columns from two tabels into one column

[Anonymous]

I've got 2 columns in 2 different tabels but my data in the table are complementary.

As i show you on this screenshot.

And i want to merge them to one column, but i doesn't exacly know how to do it.

Hi @Anonymous ,

If your two tables have the same number of columns, consider using the UNION() function.

My test table1:

My test table2:

Please try following DAX:

Table = UNION('Table1','Table2')

Do you load them in PowerQuery? Tell us a little more about the structure 🙂

In K3513 i have one column called "cena" and in the K3510 i have other column called "cena".

And in !Miary, "Tabela", i want to create new column that will merge those two column that i just mention

Have you tried this?

Merge queries and join tables (microsoft.com)

After doing same thing from this video it's showing me column full of zeros.

Is "Tabela" empty or are there already values in it? Where does Tabela come from?

I've managed to merge both files in excel so I have everything in one table now.

But i have one additional question. My column named "cena", has numbers in it, and when i throw them to matrix, it shows me column "cena" as sum. And I don't want it

That's normal (implicit measure). 

See Explicit Vs Implicit DAX Measures in Power BI - RADACAD

If you want to just have the value in your Matrix you have to format it as Text or create a Measure which you then place on the matrix. The Measure can be something like MIN(Cena) or TEXT(cena, "0000")

Hi,

-In DAX: Create a new Calculated column:

MergedColumn := IF([Col1]<>BLANK(), [Col1], [Col2])

-In PowerQuery: Add a custom column:

Table.AddColumn(tbl, "MergedColumn", each if [Col1] <> null then [Col1] else [Col2])

It's good if i have two columns in one table. But i've got two columns. Two different files. And i need to merge one column from one file, and one column from second file.
