I’ve linked two tables and am trying to create a report showing only the common references.
e.g.
Table1
Ref | Name |
1 | John |
2 | Sarah |
3 | Bill |
4 | Jane |
Table2
Ref | Surname |
2 | Jones |
3 | Smith |
4 | Brown |
5 | White |
Trying to create a table that shows;
Name | Surname |
Sarah | Jones |
Bill | Smith |
Jane | Brown |
But am getting;
Name | Surname |
John |
|
Sarah | Jones |
Bill | Smith |
Jane | Brown |
| White |
What have I done wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi There,
You should select Inner Join which will get all the matching rows from both tables.

Hi,
If you are using M you just create an inner join between the two tables
Kind Regards
