Join Tables with Condition when a target column is blank then Join with next available

Parthasarathi

Hi All,

 

I am trying to Join a table instead of VLookUp, but Join resulting in duplicates including blank/null values in the Target columns.

But I want to skip the null/blank then to have only the output rows with values on the Target columns. Thanks in advance.

 

Table 1: Master Table
CompanyParent
Company1Parent1
Company2Parent2
Company3 
Company3Parent3
Company4 
Company5 
Company5 
Company5Parent5

 

Table 2: Input data
Company nameGroup
Company1G1
Company2G2
Company3G3
Company4G4
Company5G5

 

Expected Join Component Output:
Company nameGroup/Parent
Company1Parent1
Company2Parent2
Company3Parent3
Company4Company4
Company5Parent5

I don't understand one thing, you need to skip null/blank and in the expect result I see company 4 however it's blank in the input master table.

 

Attached the workflow,

messi007,

 

The column4 is available only once that too blank, so using the Company name as the Group without any master table reference.

What is the use for your input table 2?

messi007,

 

Thank you for your workflow. But when I have two Parent name it is giving duplicate, actually if more than one Parent then I need to pick the first available value.

Qiu,

 

For the Table-2 only I need to get the matching values from the Master table.
