Help... Want single column derive from mutiple tables joins

Hi All,

 

Can someone provide a workflow for below request;

 

I have 4 tables.

Table A(Master table)

Table B

Table C

Table D.

 

I want all the records from table A(Emp_ID) and mapped with the records from other tables. I have designed the workflow, but the hurdle is, some of the emp_id are present in table B and table C. So, when I join the table B and table C with table D, alteryx shows same columns of table D twice.

 

Sample files are attached.

Basically the first thing I did was to look at all the data.Tables B and C looked like they had the same kind of data (EMP_ID to PRODUCT_ID Mapping) so I just unioned them together.

Next I joined that union output with the Table_D input which has product information, by PRODUCT_ID (unchecked the duplicate Right Product_ID field). However, the J output will only contain data for products mapped to an employee which exist in that product information table. Products that are NOT in that table will say in the L output anchor, so I just joined unioned the L and J outputs together.

Technically based on your data that is the final answer - but I went ahead and did the remaining steps in case you had employees in Table A which were not mapped to a product in the other tables. That's what the next join is for, by EMP_ID, and I deselected the duplicate EMP_ID field. Then same as earlier, you union the L and J together to get the final answer.
