Creating a single table from 2 tables

Hi i am trying to create a single table in BI combined from 2 separate data sources.

 

i only need to use one column, i.e the account number.

 

Both tables will include data that is duplicated and each table will also have unique values and i want to create a single map table of all account numbers that appear in both of the previous tables to create a master table.

 

what is the easiest way to do this?

in Power Query (replace the red code with your references)

let
    Tab1 = Table1,
    Tab1_single_column = Table.SelectColumns(Tab1,{"Id"}),
    Tab2 = Table2,
    Tab2_single_column = Table.SelectColumns(Tab2,{"Id"}),
    #"Appended Query" = Table.Combine({Tab1_single_column, Tab2_single_column}),
    #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Appended Query")
in
    #"Removed Duplicates"

Then you can right click on the account number and click Remove Duplicates. This will help to remove the duplicated Account Value. Finally you will arrive at below.
