Hi @wonka1234 

 

Do you have some column that is common between both datasets and that could be used as a key to link them? This is necessary to assign the value from the second dataset to the correct row of the first dataset.

Yes both datasets have an "ID1" and "ID2" .. both together would probably work. Tried joining on these, the inner result gives me more records then the inputs. Ie Input 10 records from left, input 10 records from right, output is 15 records

@wonka1234 Ok, it is hard to say that it gonna work without seeing the data, but if the ID1 field is on both tables and it is unique on the second table, you could try something like this:
