Joining Non Like Tables in Alteryx

Hi All

 

I am trying to join two tables that are not similar in nature (vertical data vs horizontal data) and also dont share any row or column headers.

 

Based on the contact sheet and product sheets attached is it possible to arrive at the finished report while maintaining the blank row separating the tables?

Union by Position then, and make sure to create a blank row with a Text Input to Union in between as well

Hey @Mike_at_CG, you can achieve this with a Union tool with a certain configuration, namely Auto Config by PositionIgnore - Continue Processing Records (if you don't want warnings/errors for fields not matching, which they won't) and Set a Specific Output Order. We use a dummy Text Input in between, as well as the First Row Contains Data config of the Input Data tool for those tables that aren't at the top, to retain the field names. Hope this helps!
