Join Tool Support

I need support joining data within my flow. In one sheet, I have a list of codes, and in the other sheet, I have a list of descriptions associated with each code. In the codes sheet, there are 3 columns, Code 1 Code 2 and Code 3. Sometimes there is only a code in code 1, sometimes in 1 and 2, and sometimes in 1,2, and 3. I need support with a flow that grabs the descriptions that are associated with each code and populates in a new sheet with all the data.

 

I want the output to be on the right, and have a "code 1 description" "code 2 description" "code 3 description" 

 

Any tips?

Thank for the reply. When I attempted to do this in the past I did not get any inner join output. The inputs are coming from 2 sheets. 1 with the codes, and 1 with the total list of codes, and the next column is the corresponding description.

ok check that the empty fields are actually empty and don't have trailing spaces etc as this can cause an issue, use a data cleanse to be extra sure

@pbresney hope this helps, if you upload some files/data that can be copied and pasted happy to take a look and mock something up
