Hello johnkorten&nbsp;

first you need to filter your second table to delete inactive suppliers. As you want to compare this two columns ignoring the case, you need to add a new column where you filter the second table, ignoring the case. Here an example
let
    Table1 = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8nHzNDIyNrAwVNJRcinNS0/UTQGRSrE6MDlzE3OgXHB+XmKyrntqXglCysTIACQVUpSfpOuSn5eOkDG1MDQFyvjmVxboOiXm5FTmIssZGcAtc4FYFgsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [FileID = _t, Supplier = _t]),
    Table2 = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcinNS0/UTQGRSjpKeflAwhSIjQyAhCGIZWwJJMwNDJRidaKVgvPzEpN13VPzSoCClanFIEUgbICszdQUojikKD9J1yU/Lx2u1hgkC1JiYgDVaQRR6ptfWaDrlJiTU5kLV2wG0mAAUmgE1mNsCrYJ6hJUd0N0mIDVwtwDtsMM5JZYAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Supplier = _t, active = _t, FFA = _t, PH = _t, NPH = _t, PE = _t, Ni = _t]),
    FilterTable2 = Table.SelectRows(Table2, each ([active] = "yes")),
    JoinTable1WithTable2 = Table.AddColumn
    (
        Table1,
        "Table2",
        (row)=&gt; Table.SelectRows(FilterTable2, each if Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase([Supplier],row[Supplier])=0 then true else false)
    ),
    #"Expanded Table2" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(JoinTable1WithTable2, "Table2", {"active", "FFA", "PH", "NPH", "PE", "Ni"}, {"active", "FFA", "PH", "NPH", "PE", "Ni"})
in 
    #"Expanded Table2"
