I have the following, not sure if achievable in Alteryx,  There are invoices that belong to two entities and in the morning I get one payment report, in the afternoon I get another, but at the end of the day, I only want one column, i.e., "Paid on 01-15-2024" in this example.

 

InvoicePaid on 01-15-2024Right_Paid on 01-15-2024 
Store A 0012189.97 
Store B 002 476.54
Store A 0033987.76 
Store B 004 43578.00

It will really depend on what is your definition "Similar", in the sample data, if only we have the prefix "Right_" then we can do something as below
