Is this merge possible in PQ?

Excel Facts

Excel Joke
Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
if the names in two tables are different names you'll get empty table as result

Daniel <> Daniel1

or you can try with Index
Code:
[SIZE=1]
// Table1
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Index = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source, "Index", 1, 1)
in
    Index

// Table2
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content],
    Type = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Name", type text}, {"Sales", Int64.Type}, {"Date", type date}, {"Ref", type text}}),
    Index = Table.AddIndexColumn(Type, "Index", 1, 1)
in
    Index

// Merge1
let
    Source = Table.NestedJoin(Table1,{"Index"},Table2,{"Index"},"Table2",JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    ExpandT2 = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "Table2", {"Name", "Sales", "Date", "Ref"}, {"Name.1", "Sales", "Date", "Ref"}),
    ROC = Table.SelectColumns(ExpandT2,{"Name", "Sales", "Date", "Ref"})
in
    ROC[/SIZE]

IMO it doesn't make sense
