Issues distinct selecting two columns in to new table

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have two columns in different tables that I want to join in to one column in a new table. I did this with two other columns from this table and it worked great. But the secound time, it gives me nothing.

So I have this seintance:

List.Distinct(List.Union({GeneralOverview[#"Sales Contact"],Assignments[#"Sales Contact"]}))

which gives me an empty table.

I don't have any relationships between these tables.

From my Asignment table:

From my GeneralOverview table:

What am I missing?

Can you share some sample data?

Hi,
What sampledata do you want?

[AnkitBI]

Share your tables with sample data may be dummy data. What is the expected outcome?

In your description you are saying Join which corresponsds to Merge however formula used is for Union equivalent to Append.

@AnkitBIOk, in my first post I had a screen shot of the two tables I want to merge in to one table with distinct values.  So that I get one table with unique names. It worked like a charm on two other columns, but these ones gives me 0.

This column from my table named Assignments:

tell me if you need other sample data.

And this column from my table called GeneralOverview:

@AnkitBIa bit more background info to make you understand better:

I'm making a dashboard which combines data from assignments and generaloverview.

My problem is that both tables had owning office (solved that by combining those values to an own table OwningOffice) and SalesContact. So I need to somehow be able to relate SalesContact to SalesContact to be able to get the slicers working.

Here is the dashboard. So, when I select owningoffice, I want the sales contacts and the calculations to be updated.

Here is my relations (the other tables are used in other views):

The formula worked, the problem was that I tried to use it when creating a table.
