Hello,
I am trying to merge two tables to get 3 columns from the other table and it is creating 4 additional duplicate rows (in the actual report, which has led to more than 2 million rows). I have created a sample here and it even did the same thing to that. I was wondering if somebody could help me out here. I am doing a left outer join and have made sure that the tables do not have duplicates beforehand.
I am attaching screenshots of my sample file here,

Merge Tables
Hi @syasmin25 ,
Are you merging them with unique id's per row ?
If not they are gonna replicate the rows from the outer table.
In the original file, I have created a ID.Bellperiod index column in both the tables and I am trying to merge based on that.
Can you share a sample of it on a PBIX ?
So we can take a look.
I do not have the option to do that here.
You can use GoogleDrive/OneDrive/DropBox.
I figured it out. It was an issue within the database.
Hi, can you tell me what happened exactly with your database? looks like I have similar issue with you.
