How to replace values on one column with corresponding values from another source

[dcheng029]

Hi everyone,

I am working with 2 data sources; Data Source 1 is a simple list that has the Staff's Name and their corresponding Staff ID which the system uses. Data Source 2 is a list of Job Numbers and the corresponding Staff ID.

How would I be able to replace Data Source 2 Staff ID to the corresponding Staff Name from Data Source 1 via Transform Data?

Example:

Appreciate any help and guidance on this one, thanks in advance!

The best way is not to do that.  Let the data model do the work for you.

Hi @lbendlin,

How do I have the data model work for me?

My question was how to replace the values in one data's column using second data's column values when the Staff ID matches?

Cheers.

Hi @dcheng029 ,

Try using the 'Merge' operation in Power Query.
