I have manually entered Addresses in two files. These files will be used to output letters. Before that, I must make sure there're no duplicate addresses. If there're are, I want to keep only one of those records. These files have a shared column but has different number of records. Using a Join would leave the ones that don't match off. I will need to send out letters for all records. Hope that you can come up with something using this hilarious example data:
File 1
Property Name | Property Owner | Property Address |
Apple House | Apple | R101 NO 18 Apple Rd |
Orange House | Orange | R301 NO 17 Orange St |
Grape House | Grape | R101 NO15 Grape Ave |
File 2
Property Name | Property Owner | Property Address |
Apple House | Apple | R102 NO 18 Apple Rd |
Orange House | Orange | R301 No. 17 Orange Street |
Banana House | Banana | R100 NO.15 Banana Ave |
Results should be
Property Name | Property Owner | Property Address |
Apple House | Apple | R101 NO 18 Apple Rd |
Orange House | Orange | R301 NO 17 Orange St |
Apple House | Apple | R102 NO 18 Apple Rd |
Banana House | Banana | R100 NO.15 Banana Ave |
Hi GeorgeL,
You can the Join tool to get the below output.
L-[#1] - > Gives you Unmatched Records from Left Table
J-[#2]-> Gives you Unique records
R-[#3]-> Gives you unmatched records from Right Table
Union Tool give you desired output.
Hope this helps you.
Thank you.
Hi, @saveeshkumar Thank you for your response. But your output is different from my expectation. If there're duplicates, I need to keep at least one of the records as shown in my desired output. There should be two Apple.

Oops,my mistake in understanding it right..
I have made some changes for property address column using formula.
Hope this help you.
