How to merge tables without duplication in columns
I am trying to create dashboard for report. For example, Table 1 is the table with the unique values Project Number and some basic details.
Table 1
Then I have the other table, with different sets of data, but the most important part will be, I'll need ALL the data for the pivot table
Table 2
However, when I try to merge them in power query, "Forecasted Value" will be duplicated and I will end up with a forecasted value for A1 to be 3000 instead of whats shown in table 1 due to the duplications.
Is there a way to merge (Group?) them or I'll have to create another table? Thanks in advance!

I think you have to unpivot the columns "Forecast value" and "Amount received".
That will remove the orignal columns and create two new columns "Forecast/Received" and "Value".
Then you can merge the tables and create the pivot table.
