Go to table A @Anonymous 

First, select Append Queries as shown. It will give you this table:

Then select column A and then Group By on the ribbon. Select the Advanced button, and do the following:

That is a very specific sequence that only works when data looks like that. I am not sure how adaptable that will be to a much larger and more complex data set.

Hi, @Anonymous 

Try this:

// tab_a
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="tab_a"]}[Content],
    trsp = Table.Transpose(Table.DemoteHeaders(Source))
in
    trsp

// tab_b
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="tab_b"]}[Content],
    trsp = Table.Transpose(Table.DemoteHeaders(Source))
in
    trsp

// output
let
    Source = Table.Combine({tab_a, tab_b}),
        fx = (tbl)=>
          let
             lists = Table.ToList(tbl, each List.Skip(_)),
             fnChkIsNum = (lists)=> 
                   List.AllTrue(
                       List.Transform(
                             lists,
                             (slist)=>List.AllTrue(List.Transform(slist, each Value.Is(_??1, type number)))
                       )
                   ),
             ChkIsNum = fnChkIsNum(lists),
             trans = if ChkIsNum = true then List.Transform(List.Zip(lists), List.Sum) 
                     else List.Transform(List.Zip(lists), each List.Distinct(List.RemoveNulls(_)){0}?)
          in trans,
    group = Table.Group(Source,"Column1",{"t", each {[Column1]{0}}&fx(_)}),
    result = Table.PromoteHeaders(Table.FromColumns(group[t]))
in
    result

Upload two tables into Power Query Editor, and paste below code in a blank query.

let
    tbl = tab_a&tab_b,
    Source = Table.SplitColumn(Table.Group(tbl,"A",{"n",each List.Transform(List.Skip(Table.ToColumns(_)),(x)=>try Text.Combine(x) otherwise List.Sum(x))}),"n",each _,List.Skip(Table.ColumnNames(tbl)))
in
    Source
