How does the NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN work?
The NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN function (DAX) performs an inner join of a table with another table. The tables are joined on common columns (by name) in the two tables. If the two tables have no common column names, an error is returned.

Considerations when using the NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN?

There is no sort order guarantee for the results.

Columns being joined on must have the same data type in both tables.
The columns used in the join condition are only columns with the same data lineage or with the same name and no data lineage corresponding to physical columns of the data model.

Strict comparison semantics are used during join. There is no type coercion; for example, 1 does not equal 1.0.
