Combine 2 columns from 2 different tables together (different lengths)

Hello, 

 

I have been struggling trying to merge these 2 columns from 2 tables. 

 

Let's call these 2 tables Table 1 and table 2. There is a relationship already established between them (Table 1 - [user_id]) & table 2 - [id]). Table 1 has 717 rows and table 2 has around 1888 rows. 

 

I am trying to create a new table that has [customers] from table 2 and [date] from table 1. 

Both tables has the [machine_id] columns which I think I need to use in order to match the [customers] and [date] together. Or maybe I can use the [id] & [user_id] as their relationship was already established. 

 

I am completely clueless on how I can do this and would appreciate someone to help me with this.

Hi @okiedokie2017,

Based on your understanding, there must be a 1:n relationship between Table1(1) and Table2(n). So please follow the steps below.

1. In table2, create a calculated column using the formula

date=RELATED(Table1[date])

2. Then click "New Table" under Modeling on home page, type the formula to create a new table including  [customers] from table2 and [date] from table 1.

NewTable=SELECTCOLUMNS(Table2,"date",Table2[date],"customers",Table2[customers])


You will get expected table, please feel free to ask if you have any question.

Best Regards,
Angelia
