Join datasets but indicate Null for no matches

omar_velor

Hi all,

 

I am trying the join two datasets, but in case of no matches I need empty "Null" cells in the output. Let me explain with a simple case:

 

Below I show two simple tables I would like to join,

 

IDAnswer
1y
2y
5y

 

ID
1
2
3
4
5

 

and I would like to get the following as output,

 

IDAnswer
1y
2y
5y
3[Null]
4[Null]

 

The order of the rows is not relevant.

Can you give me a hand with the corresponding tool/workflow to use?

 

Cheers

@omar_velor Join with the ID field then Union the J-anchor and R anchor of the join output
