Ignore case when joining tables on a specific key

Is there a way to ignore whether the information when joining 2 tables is upper case or lower case? I'm joining 2 tables of users to another query using the email address as the unique identifier but it seems to be case sensitive. So if in one table the email is Abirchill@xyz.com and the other table it is abirchill@xyz.com I get a null value. Is there a way to do this without having to change the source data tables to match?

Hi Adele,

Sorry, Power Query is case sensitive, full stop. So, you'll need to fix the case in the tables before merging. It's easy, select the column > transform tab > Format > lowercase.
