I need to somehow create a new worksheet based on the two pieces of data I have.

My data_2396 sheet contains 31 records in my example  I need to have each of these 31 records displayed for each of the Document #s displayed on the DocID sheet, currently there are 14 in  my example.  So that would be a total of 31 x 14 records, or 434 records.  The document IDs are unique, however the 2396 records are not.  I have not been able to figure out how to get this data to merge based on these parameters.

 

Thanks,

Webbers

Hello,

Something in line with this result perhaps?

In Power Query, add a custom column as a new step to your tbl_2396 query and add following formula:
= #"tbl_DocID"

This new step will have following code:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each #"tbl_DocID")

Next step is to expand this new column, just ensure you have the Expand radio button ticked.

In attached file I had to load your tables as new queries in order to have something to play with.

Br,
Anders

@Anders Sehlstedt,

Thank you so much!  I knew there had to be a way, but I simply could not figure it out.  I reviewed your example, and then applied the logic to a copy of m,y live data.  The live data shows 154712 rows, which is what I calculated it should based on the math ofd the # of documents times the # of records on my 2396 report.  Thanks again so very much!!!

Hello Sherry,

I am glad I could be of help. Sometimes we tend to miss the simple solutions just because we think it must be more difficult than so.
