create new table with with additional columns from another table in dax

Dear All ,

 

I have 2 tables with 90 % same structure (same no of rows):

 

Table -1 : col-1,col2,col3

 

Table-2 : col1,col2,col3,col4

 

I want to:

 

1-Add col4 with the same content from Table-2 to table-1.

2-Copy the contents of col2 (Table-2) and Paste it in col2 for Table-1

 

 

After that, I 'll remove Table-2, Please advise.

@MAAbdullah47,


You can perform the following steps in Query Editor.

1. Add a index column for Table-1 and Table-2.

2.Merge Table-1 and Table-2 by clicking “Merge Queries as New”.

May be easier to do this in Power Query. What are the sources of the tables? For example, in Power Query, you should be able to do a Merge query between the two queries you have. Are these tables comprised purely of columns imported from sources or are some of these columns calculated?

 

Otherwise, you might look at NATURALINNERJOIN, INTERSECT, UNION or other similar types of DAX functions.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Kindly can you give me by example ?
