    Hi TonyHansson ,

     

    In Power Query, we can use Merge or Append.

    With above operations, we can combine with two or more tabls to get the 'third table' you mean.

    And if you perform data operations in the original tables, your ‘third table’ will also be updated.

Hi AnkitKukreja 

 

I want to work as a database

 

I want 2 tables to be the frontend connected to a 3rd table (as backend)

 

If I change a value in one of the frontend, it will be saved in the 3rd table (Backend), and

then also availble in the other frontend.

 

Regards

 

Tony

Hi TonyHansson 

 

Yes, that can work. As suggested by Stephen you can use Append or merge in Power query. So whenever a change is flown into Table 1 or 2, it will be shown in table 3.
