union of two tables having same column names

I have two tables with data as below

table 1 

 

itemitem2item3item4item5
a2b2c2d2e2
a3b3cd3e3
a4b4cd4e4
a5b5cd5e5

 

 

Table 2

 

productproduct2product3itemitem2item3item4item5product4product5product6
11122233344455566677788899911101221
11122233344455566677788899911101221
11122233344455566677788899911101221
11122233344455566677788899911101221

 

 

I want to add/append table 1 data to table 2 , where table 2 has same columns as table 1 with addtionals columns in it

so my final output should look like below

productproduct2product3itemitem2item3item4item5product4product5product6
11122233344455566677788899911101221
11122233344455566677788899911101221
11122233344455566677788899911101221
11122233344455566677788899911101221

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Go to the Power Query Editor, select Table 1, go to the Home Page and click Append Queries from the Combine section. 

Choose Table 2 and click Ok.
