Two columns from two tables

Hi Power BI Community!

I have two tables with each column of supplier names. I want to used the combination as a slicer.

I want to combine these two but I tried appending and merging. Nothing works as a slicer.

What is the right way to do it?

@Anonymous , You can create new common/bridge table and join with both tables

 

new table = distinct(union(all(Table1[supplier]), all(Table2[supplier])))

 

or

 

distinct(union(distinct(Table1[supplier]), distinct(Table2[supplier])))
