Hello Folks,
please I need your help again! 😊
I have two tables that need to be merged into a new one.
Table SalesData contains the sales budget for next year.
Product | Quantity | Date | Country |
A | 2 | 01.01.2024 | USA |
A | 1 | 01.02.2024 | Belgium |
B | 3 | 01.04.2024 | China |
B | 4 | 01.01.2024 | USA |
C | 1 | 01.03.2024 | France |
The second table contains bill of materials for every product:
Sales Product | Raw Material | Quantity |
A | Material 1 | 1 |
A | Material 2 | 2 |
A | Material 3 | 1 |
B | Material 1 | 2 |
B | Material 4 | 1 |
C | Material 2 | 1 |
C | Material 3 | 2 |
The goal is to bring both tables together.
Product | Quantity Sales Product | Raw Material | Quantity Raw Material | Raw material requirements | Date |
A | 2 | Material 1 | 1 | 2 | 01.01.2024 |
A | 2 | Material 2 | 2 | 4 | 01.01.2024 |
A | 2 | Material 3 | 1 | 2 | 01.01.2024 |
A | 1 | Material 1 | 1 | 1 | 01.02.2024 |
A | 1 | Material 2 | 2 | 2 | 01.02.2024 |
A | 1 | Material 3 | 1 | 1 | 01.02.2024 |
B | 3 | Material 1 | 2 | 6 | 01.04.2024 |
B | 3 | Material 4 | 1 | 3 | 01.04.2024 |
C | 1 | Material 2 | 1 | 1 | 01.03.2024 |
C | 1 | Material 3 | 2 | 2 | 01.03.2024 |
Column “Raw materials requirements” is calculated column based on “Quantity Sales Product” and “Quantity Raw Material”.
Can anyone help me how to create the new table from the other two?
Tanks a lot!

Solved! Go to Solution.
I suppose you want to join the tables not uniion of them.
you can do it in power query. go to merge query and then select your columns which has the common values in your case it seems that you have product column as common column, so use that column to join the tables. i hope you know how to join the tables using merge query.
