Merging two data sets to create new Columns

Hi Alteryx Wizards,

 

Looking for some help to combine two data sets that have some fields that don't map into one data table. I can't figure out how to populate null values for fields that don't map in the output.

 

Illustrative example tables below: Need to combine #1 and #2 to create the layout of #3.

 

Table #1

I think you can do what you're looking for with a Union tool - make sure you are setting it to Auto Config by Name, Ignore when fields differ, and Output all fields..
