Two columns from different table without any same key and create a new table

Hi,

 

I would like to create a new table and in that table, I would like to have two columns coming from two different tables without any similar key. 

Such as: 

TableA: 1,2,3,4

TableB: 5,8,9,19

 

New table: 3, 19

 

Any idea how to create it. I tried Summarize() but it is only giving one column.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous 

If you want to merge two tables by dax or power query, there should be a same key column in them.

You can try to add index columns in Table A and TableB.

My Sample:

I add two Index columns in Power Query, then it will be easier for you to do some transform.

Merge in Power Query:

Select Merge as a new, merge TableA and TableB by Index columns, then expand 19 in TableB, remove other columns and rename TableB.19 as 19. Result is as below.

Dax:

Dax = 
SUMMARIZE(SUMMARIZE(TableA,TableA[Index],TableA[3],"19",CALCULATE(SUM(TableB[19]),FILTER(TableB,TableB[Index] = EARLIER([Index])))),[3],[19])

Result:
