Need help combining two worksheets
Merge and Append can be done pretty easily through the PQ UI.
For Merge, you just need to make sure your Unique ID's truly match...same type and same string.
For Append, you ideally want both tables to have columns that match. They don't need to match perfectly, but it starts getting a little weird with how columns get ordered if there aren't a perfect match.
You can Merge or Append into an existing query, or create a new one.
I recommend creating a new one, and then changing the queries that are the source of the Merge/Append to a Connection Only that isn't actually loaded.
1) Load both worksheets into Power Query
2) Make sure the IP Address columns have the same data type in both tables
3) In Worksheet2, do Merge Queries
4) Match Worksheet2[IP Address] to Worksheet1[IP Address]
5) Choose join type: Left Anti
- This returns only rows from Worksheet2 that do not exist in Worksheet1
6) Append that result to Worksheet1
Thanks, how do I perform step 6, is there an option to Append or manually copy and paste to Worksheet1?
