Hi all,
I have 2 tables below
I need a new column, including Table A plus any new job with its cost of Tabel B
that would be like this
and the job numbers and costs in both tables are beings live and updated monthly. how can I calculate in power bi?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
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
