I Merged 2 tables together using Equipment columns as Key but because the amount of data is not the same. Therefore, the information that is displayed Visualization not as desired.
I would like to know any way. That makes the data amount 15463 of 15463 rows.
As shown in the illustration, the amount of data is 6759 of 15463 rows.
Please help me in the process. Thank you in advance.
Hi @Anonymous ,
We assume that [Device] is unique as a key in Tables 1 and 2. I get the information that Table1 has 15463 records and Table2 has 6759 records. When a Left out join merge query is performed using Table 1 as the primary table, all 15463 rows of Table 1 are returned(Is this what you expected? It will keep all the records in Table1.), and null is returned if no matches are found.
The general behavior can be summarized in the following picture:

HI @Anonymous ,
It seems to me that the Equipment column is text.
If it is all numbers, conver it to whole number and see if it matches.
If text is the data type you'd like to merge, try transforming the colum with trim, clean and upper. That should handle case sensitivity, unless there are delimeters.
Other alternative depending on the type of data are:
1. To handle case sensitivity better Ignoring Case Sensitivity in Power Query - YouTube
Or,
2. Fuzzing matching or creating a transformation table:
