    You can't do a simple UNION between the tables as there appear to be different columns between the tables, however you can use SELECTCOLUMNS to build a table with the required columns, something like

    New Table =
var documentNumArchived = EXCEPT( VALUES(Archived[Document no]), VALUES(Active[Document no]) )
return UNION( SELECTCOLUMNS( Active, column list here),
   CALCULATETABLE( SELECTCOLUMNS(Archived, column list here), documentNumArchived)
)

    In the SELECTCOLUMNS you can create a column which specifies which table it comes from, you could then filter on that

I got the table created.  Is there a possibilty to filter this table like I mention it in the first post ?

for example as new bool column so i can use it for a visual slicer filter
