Join two datasets with custom key

Hi

I need to join two datasets but there is no straightforward join key.
example TABLE1.SCode = SUBSTR(TABLE2.FCode, 1, TABLE1.Length)
 
Table1
SCode|Length
561|3
78|2
6537|4
 
Table2
FCode|Name
561298|AAATR
23412|BBBAV
7892|ZZZA
653721|CCCA
 
The substring will match FCode of Table2 with SCode of Table1 as per length given in Table1. 
Need your expert advice to resolve it using alteryxplease.
thanks
