duplicate values are being duplicated using Join of 2 columns

I am trying to join 2 columns (Previous_Value and New_Value) to be able to compare any added or removed values. Here is an example of a data set: 

Previous_ValueNew_Value
12211221
12211221
12211221
12231221
45561223
59971223
84814556
 5997
 7485

 

When I do a join from a Record ID, I get the follow output:

Previous_ValueNew_Value
12211221
12211221
12211221
12211221
12231223
12231223
45564556
59975997
Null7485
8481Null

 

But since I am trying to compare what has been removed/added between the 2 columns, I want it to display like this: 

Previous_ValueNew_Value
12211221
12211221
12211221
Null1221
12231223
Null1223
45564556
59975997
Null7485
8481Null

 

so I can filter for the "Null" values. Any ideas how to make this work?

split data stream - new value - tile tool - unique new value.

previous value - tile tool - unique tile tool.

join -> previous value->new value and tile_seq_number to tile_sequence number

union all anchors.

 

fix your fieldtypes so they are all the same too.
