@NicoleHou , can you elaborate on the logic and criteria used for matching the two datasets?

My apologies, I left out information on accident.  Need to match based on row 4 in Source #1 (Columns D,E,F) and the ID column from Source #2

Hi!

I approached it by transposing the second part of the header, joining it with Source #2, and retransposing the result. (I wished Alteryx had a one-tool transpose option....)

See the attached workflow for the intricacies (such as renaming the fields before retransposing in order to ensure the desired order of the header)

One way to achieve to this result.

@Emmanuel_G  thank you, this worked with fewer steps, but how do I get the "make columns" tool?

 

Thanks!

 

Edited to say, I found this in the Laboratory menu! Thanks again!
