EventTable doesn't appear in PowerQuery; it's a live connection stored with DirectQuery.

ReadTheIron,

 

Then merge only the other two tables and then merge the problem description columns and you can use it since there's a relation between them and event table.

 

If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍

    Sorry, I'm having a bit of trouble understanding. I only have two tables, EventTable (which is a live connection and which I can't access in PowerQuery) and ProblemKey, which is a simple Excel import and which I can access in PowerQuery. I can create calculated columns for EventTable, but I don't know how to access it to merge.
