Get value from another table with multiple conditions.

Hello. I have two tables as below. I want to create a custom column (Total Calls) in table2 and if the city and location values are equal, I want to add the count data in table1 to the Total Calls column in table2. How can I do this in powerquery?

    When you are merging the 2 tables in power query, you need to select both "city" and "location" by holding the CTRL key in order to select both. Do the same for table 2. You need to join on these two columns.

    Hi u4us1923 ,

     

    We can do this with simple merge and select 2 columns for each table.

        Hi u4us1923 ,

         

        it is not limited only for 2 columns, you can select as many columns as you want to merge them
