Append older data to new live data

I have 2 tables in my Power BI solution.  One is based on a query to a live MySql database and has columns a,b,c,d,e,f.....

the other table is just some historical data that I copied in from Excel.  I want to create a third table that contains column c and d

from the first table and appends them to the second table which contains the same 2 columns but is static historical data.  How can I accomplish this?  I hope this I made this clear.  Let me know if you need me to clarify.

 

Thanks

What I did is create a summary table from the live data and now I want to append this to the historical table.

Both only contain 2 columns, reportyear and premiumwritten.  However, when I go into Merge Queries the summary table is not available to append.  Can you not append to a summary table in Power BI?

Try using Append Queries rather than Merge Queries.
