    Hi Dexter1088, if you have that many rows do not use Power Query for this purpose. 

     

    1.) Create relationship between tables

     

    2.) Create a calculated column

     

    Lowest Count = 
    VAR _currentID = [ID]
    
    VAR _test1 = 
        CALCULATE(
            MIN(Table2[COUNT]),
            Table2[ID] = _currentID
        )
            
            
    RETURN _test1

    Hi Dexter1088 ,

    As Super User Dufoq3 said, using power query to manipulate millions of rows of data can be really slow. If you just want to display the data there is an easier way, as Super User Dufoq3 shows, to create the relationship and then use Table visualization to combine the ID column from Table 1 with the Value column from Table 2 and aggregate the Value columns, so that you don't need to perform the Calculation
