Power Query Innerjoin Distinct Values from Two Columns From Two Tables in One Step

Hello Power-Query Community, 

 

I want to innerjoin the distinct values from two columns from two tables (queries) in one single step in Power Query as a new table (query). Can this be done?

 

Table 1

Target ColumnRandom Column 1Random Column 2
1db
1qd
2bd
2db

 

Table 2

Target ColumnRandom Column 1Random Column 2
1fh
1ke
2gf
2gh
3wr
3fv

 

Expected Results Table

Result Column
1
2

 

I already tried something like:

 

= Table.Join(
Table.Distinct(Table1,{"TargetColumn"}),
Table.Distinct(Table2,{"TargetColumn"}),
"Expected Results Table",
JoinKind.InnerJoin
)

 

Can someone guide me into the right direction?


Many thanks in advance.
