Combining two data sets

Hello All! So I am looking to combine two data sets into 1 for a report. Data Set 1 is more of a header with specific columns on it; Data Set 2 is what I'm looking to load but both data sets need to be on one report in order for it to work how I'm designing it.

 

Data Set 1:

DS1C1DS1C2DS1C3DS1C4DS1C5
DS1R1DS1R1DS1R1DS1R1DS1R1

 

Data Set 2:

DS2C1DS2C2DS2C3DS2C4DS2C5DS2C6
DS2R1DS2R1DS2R1DS2R1DS2R1DS2R1
DS2R2DS2R2DS2R2DS2R2DS2R2DS2R2

 

Desired Output:

DS1C1DS1C2DS1C3DS1C4DS1C5 
DS1R1DS1R1DS1R1DS1R1DS1R1 
DS2C1DS2C2DS2C3DS2C4DS2C5DS2C6
DS2R1DS2R1DS2R1DS2R1DS2R1DS2R1
DS2R2DS2R2DS2R2DS2R2DS2R2DS2R2

 

Essentially, I'm just looking to plop Data Set 1 on top of Data Set 2.

 

Right now I'm sitting at both data sets having been "selected"

Does something like this work?

@cjaneczko @MarqueeCrew  - Thank you for your input! It was actually a little simpler than I thought. I dropped 2 basic table tools to the right of my selects tools for each data set.

 

Once in table format the two data sets can be combined using the union tool and it maintains both. However, it does create a merged cell due to the column mismatch. So I might have to leave the blank column in the header in order to get it to line up right for my uploader.
