Hello,

I have so many columns on original table, I tried to merger both the tables, datas are duplicatiing. because it is whenever First column has value thne second column is empty and vice versa.

Is there way we can achieve thru query?

Hi,

We are a bit unclear about your question about Unique values,

However, as per our understanding,

You can append Query in Power Query Editor, Please follow the steps below,

1. Duplicate the Required Table,
2. Remove the first column and rename the second column in the original table,
3. Remove the Second column and rename the first column in the Duplicate table,
4. Navigate to the Append Queries,
5. Choose the table to Append

In the below sample table, we are looking to combine Both date fields in one as Date,

Please refer the below screenshots,

After Updating the tables,

Navigate to the Append as new, (Top - Right)

After Append the Tables,

Let us know if this is an expected result for you or if not then could you explain more about your query with sample data?

Thanks!

Hello

I tried as you suggested unfortunately I am getting duplicate records.

I have so many columns, I implemented as you suggested, first column showing value and second column showing null, Second column showing values, first column is showing null. And because of this records are duplication. 

Is there any way?

Hi @avi081265 ,

You can use the DISTINCT DAX function in Power BI.

To retain unique cells, you'll need to create a new table. Refer to the DAX expression provided below:

New Table = DISTINCT( UNION( ALL('Sample Table'[Fruits]), ALL('Sample Table'[Another Fruits]) ) )

If this doesn't solve the issue, please share the current and expected output with us, ensuring sensitive data is obscured.

Thanks!
