hi @Bhargav150 

in the power query editor:
1. how to merge queries with a left join : Power BI Tutorial: Merge Queries in Power Query (youtube.com)

2. To join on multiple columns, hold "CTRL" to select multiple column headers while merging.
Alternatively, you can create a key ( merging multiple columns if required)

if this doesn't resolve the issue, kindly provide sample input and output data masking sensitive information
