    Hi himaan_she 
    Have a look at this

     

    Here's the code:
    let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Day", Int64.Type}, {"Month", Int64.Type}, {"Year", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type", {{"Day", type text}, {"Month", type text}, {"Year", type text}}, "en-IN"),{"Day", "Month", "Year"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter("-", QuoteStyle.None),"Date"),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Merged Columns",{{"Date", type date}})
    in
    #"Changed Type1"

Hi himaan_she 

 

To return only rows that exist in both tables, use Merge Queries in Power Query and select the column you want to match on. Choose the Inner Join option it will keep only the rows that match in both tables.
