Incorrect result - Join tool

Hi,

 

I’m using the join tool to verify if product sku is in a list and noticed that some skus from the right source that are not in the left source still got into the J output.

 

I’m not sure if I made a mistake somewhere or what happened here. Could you help me take a look?

 

Here are the screenshot:

 

Right source: 2 records with the same sku

Left source: No record was returned when I searched for that sku:

Hi @LinhNguyen ,

 

I think the problem is that you are trying to filter that value directly in the results tab of the join tool.

The inputs and outputs of a tool shows by standard only a sample of the total data. To check if the value is really there, insert a browse tool before the left input and check if the data is there.

 

Let me know if that works for you.

 

Best,

Yes I found it when I added the browse tool.

Thank you!!! @fmvizcaino
