How to differentiate one Key Associated column from two different tables

Hello, everyone! I am pretty new in Qlik Sense and I trying to solve one problem regarding associations. I have two different tables, with a Key connection (association) in column "Xnumber" between the two. However, this column in Table1 has a bigger amount of data compared to Table2. I want to create objects/graphs with measures in which I can deal with just the values from one of these tables. Since all the data from Table 1 is included in Table 2 (but not the opposite), I want to create objects that return only the data from "Table2.Xnumber", and not the values presented in Table1.Xnumber. In summary, I want to create measures where I can differentiate the data from the key association of both tables (since the values are not 100% the same) while maintaining the association.

Is that possible? What can I do? I thought about using this format "Table.Key", but I am looking for an alternative only coding via Data Load Editor.

Hi,

Some objects will cope with this anyway (if you take off 'Include zero values'). But you can add a flag to the table with less data in, so something like this;

Table1:
Load * Inline [
XNumber, A
1, 10
2, 15
3, 20
];

Table2:
Load
	*,
    1 AS HasTable2XNumber;
Load * Inline [
XNumber, B
1, 5
3, 25
];

Then use set analysis, similar to bottom right here;

Simply load the  column two times in each table 

 

Example

Table1:

Load Keyfield //this field links to table2

Keyfield as Keyfield1 // this one does not link to table1 

Otherfields 

From sourcetable1;

 

Table2:

Load Keyfield //this field links to table1 

Keyfield as Keyfield2 // this one does not link to table1 

Otherfields 

From sourcetable2;

 

Then use keyfield1and Keyfield2 in charts

Thank you for the help! But how can I use set analysis and see all the values without using aggregation functions like 'Sum' that you used? I want to create an object where I will be able to see only the values from "HasTable2XNumber', but with the exactly data from the table, with no aggregation function.
