At the top of the main Alteryx screen, under the Join tab, try the Join Multiple tool.

Hi @cohunter1990, please see attached the worflow I created to help you.

 

I used two joins and there you go :)

The workflow did work but when I used it with my actual file that has more than 10,000 PO and Location codes, it only output like 1,300.

@cohunter1990 It should output all the records. Can you connect your select tool output to a browser tool and check again ?
