Adding a column of data to a dataset

I was wondering if it is possible in Alteryx to append a column of data into another dataset with limited relationship between the data. I am attaching a spreadsheet with 3 tabs, A, B, and C. What I am trying to do is A + B = C. Can somebody please help me here? An example in Alteryx will be very helpful.

 

Here is a simplified example

 

Dataset A    Dataset B  Dataset C - result   
Col ACol BCol CCol D Col ACol B Col ACol BCol CCol DCol E
ADGH A1 ADGH1
A GH A2 A GH2
BEIJ A3 A   3
CFKL A4 A   4
COMN A5 A   5
CP   A6 A   6
     A7 A   7
     B8 BEIJ8
     C9 CFKL9
     C10 COMN10
        CP   


I appreciate any advice and feedback on this. Thank you!

Bob
