    Thanks for your help. Indeed it's working with a trstfile like the one you described. But when I do the same steps on my file (more then 30 columns, but I try to merge 4 of these), an unexpected error opccured. But what the error is, I don't know.

      Hi Anonymous 

       

      Could you please provide more raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following links to share the required info:

      And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

    Thanks for your help, it was the solution. I couldn't do it first, because of the NULL values in some of the rows. After filtering these, your solution worked.
