Power query connect 2 tables to a third table as backend

[TonyHansson]

Hi

Is it possible to use excel as backend for 2 or more connected tables.

If I make a change in one of the frontend tables, it will then change in the backend table?

(And therfore change in the others frontend table)

Regards

Tony

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 @TonyHansson 

The second part of your question is not clear to me. But yes we can use excel for 2 or more tables.

Can you possible explain it briefly what exactly you are looking for?

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.

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.
