Hi , 

Excel 365 

PC Windows 10 Enterprise

I am using Power Query to  load  2 different table with the purpose of looking up information between the 2 table

Query 1 : DB Shipment 1 

Query 2 : DB shipment 2 

 

I am trying to add a customs column in DB shipment 1 with a customs formula list.positionOf, basically I am  trying to reproduce what is shown on this website  for Vlookup in Power Query using List Functions

Issue

When typing the name of my TAB "DB Shipment 2" and opening the bracket [] , the columns proposed will be the columns of the Table  DB Shipment 1 when it should be the columns of DB Shipment 2 since I am calling that table 

I really dont know what is wrong , I believe I have reproduce exactly what is shown on the video

Hi Pierre-Stephane,

I'm not sure why it wouldn't be displaying the correct columns. Can you please send a screenshot of what you see in the Custom Column dialog box when you're entering your formula. Also provide the formula you're trying to enter and I can test it at my end.
