Hey @rohit782192,

The reason why you have the 'right' columns is because they are named identically in both left and right inputs so they have been prefixed with 'right'

If you want to remove them untick them in the join tool.

Any questions or issues please ask :)
HTH!

if both the cell B and C are not equal then why they are going in J . Expectation is they should go in L and R

@rohit782192 for that you need to change the join like below

Hello,

 

This is just a 3 column.

 

What about if we have 100 or 200 column.

 

You will joint on all.

@rohit782192 If you had 200 columns and you need to join on all 200 you should create a key column and then just join on that one key column
