Table Join Query

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.

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
