Avoiding duplicates in a one to many join

Nageen

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a one to many join where a column from one source of data should be joined with three columns from the other source of data. A regular join tool with three keys is not working. See below for some sample data. 

 

Role 1 Role 2Role 3
Mom WifeDaughter
DadHusband Son

 

 

Role
Mom
Dad
Wife
Husband
Daughter 
Son

 

The current keys were: (Role, Role 1) (Role, Role 2) and (Role, Role 3)

 

Any guidance on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated. Thank you!

How about pivoting the data before joining it (i.e. Transpose tool)?
