Replace Values from Different tables

Hey Guys,

 

I need help with this query in M-code.

I have one table which has general data and is quite big and slow (Table1). I also have another table which has newer data, fast and shiny (Table2). I need a new table "Table3" which has all values and colums of Table1, but everytime Table2 and Table1 have the same column name, I need the "newer" value from Table 2.
Also, I need all columns from both Table1 and Table2

 

It should look like this:

Is there a fast way to do this


Thanks for your help, really appreciate it. 3 tables below.

 

Greetings,

Janik

Thanks for your answers.

I need a solution directly in M with a query in the end as I do this in Power BI Dataflows and need a data table like Table3.

Any suggestions in M?

Thanks! 🙂

Just pivot table2 it back to original format 🙂

Add this to the last step on table 2:

 

= Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns"[Attribute]), "Attribute", "Value")
