@Pbhave - Here is a quick sample of what you can do.  That is a weird table.  Not sure why two distinct datasets are in the same table, but here is what I did to get it out.  Please note I left the information all coming out of the join but you can alter names/deselect as needed.

Since I used text tool as input, I also had to use the select to get the field types set properly.  You might not need that when building this out on your real dataset.  Good luck.
