Below is an example:
Master Table:
Assignment Table:
Master Table after merging should look like this:

let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQyVtJRMtQ31DcyMDICMY1g7FgdoLShIYoYgm2sFBsLAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Employee = _t, startDate = _t, endDate = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"startDate", type date}, {"endDate", type date}})

@lbendlin Thank you for the solution. However, please recommend another solution for large data? My Master table contain 24 million rows and its been an hour and only 500k is loaded as of now.
Thanks again.
Please provide meaningful amounts of sample data.
