Dear Community Members,
Request your help with below query -
I have 14 tables with similar data and 5 columns per table
Example of two tables below:
Table 1
Cif ID | Name |
1711 | None |
6947 | Somoene |
1276 | Noone |
5645 | Anyone |
Table 2
CRN | Name |
2868 | Yum |
6502 | dum |
6498 | some |
5362 | ton |
I want to combine all the columns in order with each representing the subsequent value in a new table like below:
Cif ID | Name |
1711 | None |
6947 | Somoene |
1276 | Noone |
5645 | Anyone |
2868 | Yum |
6502 | dum |
6498 | some |
5362 | ton |
PS - Please note that columns are not in exact order header wise hence cannot use Append query , also tried below function
= Table.Combine({
Table.RenameColumns(
Table.SelectColumns(#"Table 1","CIF Id") ,{{"CIF Id","CIF ID"}})
,
Table.RenameColumns(
Table.SelectColumns(#"Table 2","CRN") ,{{"CRN","CIF ID"}})
,
Table.RenameColumns(
Table.SelectColumns(#"Table 1","Name") ,{{"Name","Name"}})
,
Table.RenameColumns(
Table.SelectColumns(#"Table 2","Name") ,{{"Name","Name"}})
})
But it give below result :
Cif ID | Name |
1711 | null |
6947 | null |
1276 | null |
5645 | null |
2868 | null |
6502 | null |
6498 | null |
5362 | null |
null | None |
null | Somoene |
null | Noone |
null | Anyone |
null | Yum |
null | dum |
null | some |
null | ton |
Please help
Solved! Go to Solution.
This pattern should work:
let
Source =
Table.SelectColumns(
Table.Combine(
{
Table.RenameColumns(Table1, {{"ID1", "ID_Output"}, {"Name1", "Name_Output"}}),
Table.RenameColumns(Table2, {{"ID2", "ID_Output"}, {"Name2", "Name_Output"}}),
Table.RenameColumns(Table3, {{"ID3", "ID_Output"}, {"Name3", "Name_Output"}})
}
),
{"ID_Output", "Name_Output"}
)
in
Source
Update the column names as appropriate for your situation.

Oh yes, sorry - my fault:
= Table.Combine({
Table.RenameColumns(
Table.SelectColumns(#"Table 1","CIF Id", "Name") ,{{"CIF Id","CIF ID"}})
,
Table.RenameColumns(
Table.SelectColumns(#"Table 2","CRN", "Name") ,{{"CRN","CIF ID"}})
})

I am troubling you..
so there are 14 tables, all dont have the header as "Name", so ultimately i have to convert the "Name" to "Name"
Hi @Anonymous ,
please try the following instead:
= Table.Combine({
Table.RenameColumns(
Table.SelectColumns(#"Table 1","CIF Id", "Name") ,{{"CIF Id","CIF ID", "Name"}})
,
Table.RenameColumns(
Table.SelectColumns(#"Table 2","CRN", "Name") ,{{"CRN","CIF ID", "Name"}})
})
