This will work:

= Table.Combine({#"Table A", Table.SelectRows(#"Table B", each not List.Contains(List.Buffer(#"Table A"[Job NO]), [Job NO]))})

Hello @Anonymous 

 

I would suggest you to use a Join, applying LeftAnti. Here an example

let
    A = 
    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSAeJYnWglIyDLCMwyBrKMlWJjAQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Job NO" = _t, Cost = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Job NO", Int64.Type}, {"Cost", Int64.Type}})
    in
        #"Changed Type",
    B = 
    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSAeJYnWglIyDLCMwyA7KMwSxzIMtEKTYWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Job NO" = _t, Cost = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Job NO", Int64.Type}, {"Cost", Int64.Type}})
    in
        #"Changed Type",
    
    AddTableBtoAUsingTableNestedJoin = Table.Combine
    (
        {
            A,
            Table.RemoveColumns
            (
                Table.NestedJoin
                (
                    B,
                    "Job NO",
                    A,
                    "Job NO",
                    "A",
                    JoinKind.LeftAnti
                ),
                {"A"}
            )
        }
    )
    
in
    AddTableBtoAUsingTableNestedJoin

 

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
