Hi,
But Full outer join will print both tables record right, I only wanted to see the non-existing item of my first table into my merging table- amitchandakSuper User
Anil2264 , I think append, keep the column names different

For each new data column, remove the values in the columns to the left and then combine them.
Full sample query you can paste into the Advanced Editor of a new blank query:
let DATA1 = #table(type table [DATA1 = text], {{"A"},{"B"},{"C"},{"D"},{"E"},{"F"},{"G"}}), DATA2 = #table(type table [DATA2 = text], {{"A"},{"D"},{"G"},{"J"},{"H"},{"I"}}), DATA3 = #table(type table [DATA3 = text], {{"B"},{"J"},{"L"},{"K"},{"M"},{"N"}}), List1 = DATA1[DATA1], List2 = DATA2[DATA2], List12 = List.Distinct(List.Combine({List1, List2})), Table1 = DATA1, Table2 = Table.SelectRows(DATA2, each not List.Contains(List1, [DATA2])), Table3 = Table.SelectRows(DATA3, each not List.Contains(List12, [DATA3])), Source = Table.Combine({Table1, Table2, Table3}) in Source(If you have DATA1, DATA2, DATA3 defined as separate queries, remove those definitions from the query above.)

I don't understand "almsot having 1Lac rows". Can you give an example that is more like your actual data?
