How to align rows for subtraction? Need identifiers.

Hi,

 

I have values that need to be subtracted but the row names do not match.

 

How can I align these to do a subtraction?

 

side A:

side B:

this is just sample data. But the rows "Name" arent the same but the #'s are supposed to be aligned so it can be suctracted to 0.

 

How can I create identical identifiers to match the records?

 

Thanks.

@wonka1234 with your example above what final output would you want?

@IraWatt   final output: 

NameValueNameValue
CMB Coupon Payment (incl.expenses)-80347992.77PYMT (Seller Swap)_Transfer User-80347992.77
Swap interest receipt via CPA (incl.expenses)20210839.98FloatingInt_TransferUser

20210839.98

 

Then from here I can do a subtraction

i would need to do this at a large scale. It seems like i need a way to manually order rows.

@wonka1234 here's one way which should be quite dynamic at large scale:

One thing to note is you cant have columns with the same name in Alteryx.
