Updating List

Hi everyone!

I am currently working with three tables that I need to combine into one. In each table, I have a "Name" column. I would like to stack the names on top of one another to create on supertable with all of their names. I don't need to copy the other columns, just make one with the list of names. The reason I'm trying to merge the names is so that I may constantly update each table and have a list of all names from all tables. Here's a sample image of what I'm hoping for:

Please note that I also want to be able to update the tables if I add names so that the list is also updated. I also made the demonstration through excel but would like to do it in Power BI!

Thanks!!

Hi @12scml,

 

You can create a calculated table using below DAX formula:

NewTable =
UNION (
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table1, "Name", Table1[Name] ),
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table2, "Name", Table2[Name] ),
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table3, "Name", Table3[Name] )
)

It will update automatically when you refreshing the source tables (Table1, Table2, Table3).
