Copy column from one table to another table in power query in Power BI

[Amar-Agnihotri]

I have 2 tables Table1 and Table2. In both the table there is no common column so that I could merge them . I created an index in both the tables. Now on the basis of index from table1 I want to copy a column to table2 so that i could perform merge operation on this column. The issue is how to copy column from table1 to table2 using power query ?

Hi  @Amar-Agnihotri ,

Can you directly merge the 2 tables by index columns?

And you will see:

You could check my sample .pbix file attached.

There's a menu item for that. Merge or Merge as new.

What if you only want to copy just 1 column from table 1 to table 2, how would you do that please?

Hi @tkconsultingnl 

What i understand is that you want to pick one column from two different tables and then want to create two new tables with only having that single column . Is it correct ?

[tkconsultingnl]

Yes exactly.

Are these two columns from two different tables having same kind of data ?
