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.
Solved! Go to Solution.
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:

@Anonymous what is the logic to get these two values in the new table? Are these tables have relationship? Share sample data. Read this post to get your answer quickly.
