Beginner Help with Power Query Merging

Good morning everyone, 

 

Apologies in advance if this has been answered elsewhere, I've tried to look through previous threads and figure this out myself but to no avail. I am looking to try and merge the following:

My aim is to align matching values whilst maintaining each column in ascending order. Where there is no match on either data set a blank/null cell is inserted. As shown below:

I've tried a 'Full Outer Join Kind' but it just throws out a load of duplicates. 

 

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

Add index on each table with Table.Group and Join

= Table.Join(
Table.Combine(
Table.Group(
Table1,
{"Value 1"},
{{"Data", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_,"Index 1")}})
[Data]),
{"Value 1", "Index 1"},
Table.Combine(
Table.Group(
Source2,
{"Value 2"},
{{"Data", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_,"Index 2")}})
[Data]),
{"Value 2", "Index 2"},
JoinKind.FullOuter
)
