Combine and compare two tables of related data, with no actual related columns.

I feel like I am going in circles.

I have two sets of data that I am trying to actively compare.

  • one is an export from billing department software, two excel sheets combined and cleaned via power query.
    • Corporate From RegionActual

Where I am struggling is to compare the actuals with the forecast.  The two reports have no columns to reference each other.  Naming conventions are not the same between each report.  I tried creating a bridge table to link them together, but can't get away from a many to many relationship and it is not giving the results I am expecting.
