Multiple Join based off on refrence

Hi All,

New to Alteryx. I want to join each of the parsed columns to the reference table below:

Parsed column 1Parsed Column 2Parsed Column 3Parsed Column 4Parsed Column 5
5101107
913910
66119
55665

 

Reference Table:

Refrence IDName
1gary
2greg
3mike
4josh
5eric
6adam
7ian
8james
9ricki
10derek

 

Is there a way to do so without having multiple "join" items, one for each of the parsed columns?

Thanks!

Hi @iacuoj47 , you can do this by transposing your table first:

Thanks for this! if the left table was adjusted to include an ID such as below, how would you approach this? Table example below:

 

Parsed column 1Parsed Column 2Parsed Column 3Parsed Column 4Parsed Column 5Random ID
5101107123457
913910123456
66119123458
55665123459

 

i've thought about adding the Random ID later back in the flow, but that didn't work on the expanded data set. Essentially what i'm trying to do is have a final data set where it would look something along the lines of this:

 

Random IDTransposed column NumberTransposed Column Name

 

Really appreciate your assistance with this!
