I have the following query in Excel Power Query:
= Table.SelectColumns(Table.NestedJoin(Table.Combine({TableA, TableB}),"PK",TableC,"PK","Dir",JoinKind.Inner),{"FieldA","Dir.FieldB"})
I get the following error:
Expression.Error: The column 'Dir.fieldB' of the table wasn't found.
How do I get at the joined table "Dir" within SelectColumns?
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can try expanding the tables after the join @df555 then getting the columns. That is the easiest way.
= Table.SelectColumns(Table.ExpandTableColumn(Table.NestedJoin(Custom1, {"Digital Property"}, Table, {"Digital Property"}, "Table", JoinKind.LeftOuter), "Table", {"Custom"}, {"Custom"}),{"Digital Property", "Custom"})
Otherwise, you'll need to provide some data because I'm guessing what yours looks like.
