Using one column value and filter another query

Hello everyone, 

I am pretty new to power query so need to ask if this is possible. 
The senario is I have a store proc that return 6 columns one of the column has ClientID base the the client ID that got poplulated from server A I need to use those list as the filter for another query that is coming from server B. is there a way to use Query result that is coming from A will be used to filter the query that is coming from B. 
example 
server A query 

client IDmissing data Name 

server B

client ID employee code score

 I could load the data in power bi and create the relationship but it seems the query for server B has I million record that where as the server A has only those value that has missing value so it will always be less. 
I need to filter out the client ID that is coming from the server A query use that in server B query so I can get the code and score. 
Please advise.

    I don't know if I understand, but, you can merge the two queries in one. Load the 2 queries on Power Query and then merge then in new one choosing the best join option for your scenario. Read more about merge queries here:

    PS.: Another way to get the desired result is merge directly in SQL if you have access to write it.

  • Thank you for the reply. 
    I am not able to load the data that is coming from server B as it is huge. so whatever result I could get from the query in server A needs I need to use the Client ID as the filter for the query in server B. Can I do that?
