Negative join

Hi

 

Is there a way to preform a "negative join" where i will keep all posts from the first table that are not in the second table?

 

 

Regards

 

Søren

@Anonymous Use EXCEPT in DAX. Use Left or Right Anti in Power Query Merge query.

@Anonymous , Try like a new table

 new table = Except(Table1, Table2)

Both should have the same columns
