JoinKind.RightAnti (5) is an enumeration that specifies the kind of join operation. It is a member of the JoinKind.Type and represents a right anti join which returns all rows from the second table that do not have a match in the first table.
Imagine this – you’re joining the ‘Left Table’ and the ‘Right Table’ on a common column. The image below shows how a ‘right anti join’ works. In this case, you get a new table that includes only the elements from the ‘Right Table’ that do not have any matches in the ‘Left Table’. Any rows from the ‘Right Table’ that have matching rows in the ‘Left Table’ are excluded.
Examples
The right anti join returns all rows in Table2, not available in Table1. To specify the right anti join operation for the Table.NestedJoin function you can use its 6th argument.
= Table.NestedJoin(
CustomersTable,
{"CustomerID_1"},
OrdersTable,
{"CustomerID_2"},
"Orders"
JoinKind.RightAnti // specifies the JoinKind
)
/* ----------------------------------------
You can also write the short-hand value
------------------------------------------ */
= Table.NestedJoin(
CustomersTable,
{"CustomerID_1"},
OrdersTable,
{"CustomerID_2"},
"Orders"
5 // the concise way to specify the right anti join
