I have to preface with I'm new to M language and Power Query.

I have two tables: LAPTOP INVENTORY and RETIRED LAPTOPS. The two tables have a "Serial#" relationship.

What I want to do is ADD COLUMN to LAPTOP INVENTORY table indicating whether the laptop has been retired, based on Serial# lookup in the RETIRED LAPTOPS table. It must be simple but I struggling with it.

Ask for a simple solution and you'll get one 🙂

I merged (Left Outer join) the Laptop table with the Retired table and expand. All rows with a serial number in the Retired column are retired. All with null are not.

See attached and come back here if you get stuck.
