I am merging 2 databases and joining through using the data in the amount column, on table 1 there are a few entries that have duplicate amounts, when the query is merged the power query matches

table 1

Date Amount
02/10/19 7000
02/15/19 7500
02/17/19 7000
table 2
date Amount
02/9/19 2500
02/3/19 7500
02/16/19 7000

The merged table matched two amounts of 7000/- from table 1 to 2 entries from table 2, where there was only one $7000/- entry which is wrong. The merge was done using all rows from both tables.
How can I correct this error?
Thanks
