I have a 2 tables, both has the same column names col1, col2. Table1 has more data (1000) and Table2 has subset of Table1 (300). I am trying to get the rows into another table which are exists only in Table1. I only want the difference, But I always get entire Table1 or Table2.
let
Source1 = Table1,
Source2 = Table2,
DistinctTable1 = Table.Distinct(Table.SelectColumns(Source1, {"col1", "col2"})),
DistinctTable2 = Table.Distinct(Table.SelectColumns(Source2, {"col1", "col2"})),
Difference = Table.RemoveMatchingRows(DistinctTable1, Table.ToRecords(DistinctTable2), {"col1", "col2"})
in
Difference
