Fuzzy Match output Matched and Unmatched records

Hello,

 

I'm performing Fuzzy Match on 2 data sources, SAP and ORACLE. Some fields require exact match and some require custom match. I've set the settings accordingly in the attached example. I see there are matched records coming through. But I'm unable to display the output in a desired format. I'd like to have Matched and Unmatched records side by side. How can I achieve this?

 

Input:

 

DistributorResellerModel #Material DescriptionTotalQtyData SourceYear
MENSTKELECTRONICS ARTS COABC123HAND HELD DEVICE1002ORACLE2017
MENSTKINTELLIGENT AUTOMATION INCABC123HAND HELD DEVICE5000123ORACLE2017
MENSTKINTELLIGENT AUTOMATIONABC123HAND HELD DEVICE5000123SAP2017
MENSTK ABC123HAND HELD DEVICE600001200SAP2017

 

 

Expected format: The column names need not be similar can be anything to distinguish between the data sources. Its ok if its the same too.

From the Fuzzy Match output, you could use a Record ID tool to create a field [Match ID].

 

Join [Fuzzy Match Record ID 1] back to it's original data source

Join [Fuzzy Match Record ID 2] back to it's original data source

This will give you two data streams

 

Then use a JOIN tool to combine the two data streams using the Match ID

I tried to do the steps you mentioned as shown below. What am I missing?

Can you post that latest workflow, with just a few sample records?
