Power BI Join

Hello Anonymous , and thank you for starting a discussion in the Power Bi Desktop Community Forum.  

It’s completely normal to encounter challenges.  Let’s explore this further:

 

What Specific Issues Are You Facing?

• Could you provide more details about what isn’t helpful when joining tables? Are there any
  error messages or unexpected results?
• Have you tried joining tables using the Relationships page, Power Query, or DAX?

Relationships Page vs. Power Query vs. DAX: Which Have You Tried?

• The Relationships page is the simplest way to join tables. Did you encounter any issues with this method?
• Power Query allows you to merge tables during data preparation. Have you explored this option?
• DAX can be used to calculate columns based on relationships. Have you experimented with DAX formulas?

Column Data Types and Null Values:

• Ensure that common columns being joined have the same data type in both tables.
• Consider removing rows with missing or null values before joining the tables.

Remember, every developer faces challenges, and seeking help from the community
is a great step. Feel free to share more details, and forum members will work
through this with you!

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for reaching out.  I'm going to move this post into our forums and maybe other community members could give you suggestions.
