Hello UlisesCiccola
why not create a lookup table, where you put the version of the sales table in one column and on the other the version of your neighborhood-table? As you have only 60 values, this should be no issue. Load all three tables into your datamodel and connect them or use you connection-table to add a new column to one of your other tables that then allows you to connect them in your data model.
You could also try a Table.FuzzyNestedJoin where you can join tables on columns that are not written exactly the same. You can implement some options and a treshold as well. But there you could face the risk that no or more rows are found. So try to go for the first option. You can create however a manual table in Power BI by clicking "Enter Data" in the menue.

Thank you Jimmy801 !! I will go with the first option! I do not know how to make this lookup table but I will have a look. It sounds like the right way to go
