Patch one table on top of another

Posted on by SmoothOperator

Tried my best to find a title, but not sure how to post it exactly... So...

I have a table 1

Name	ID
John	1
George	2
Jim	3
Bill	4

and I have another table 2

Name	ID
Chris	1
Patric	2
Francois	3

I want to always keep the second table, and put on the beginning of the second table the first one and adjust the ID accordingly.

Preferably I would like to do that with collections..

The result I want is :

John	1
George	2
Jim	3
Bill	4
Chris	5
Patric	6
Francois	7

Hope you understood the needed result!

Thank you in advance 🙂

if both tables have different columns though? I believe that
ClearCollect( JoinedTable, Table1,Table2 )
does not work and merges them. They should be exactly the same..
any thoughts?

Your table had same columns. Did it work?

If different column names we can use AddColumns

Try this:

ClearCollect(JoinedTable,Table1,RenameColumns(Table2,"Name2","Name","ID2","ID"));
