Fields are missing from join.

Here is my flow - very simple summarize and a join

Left and right join are empty yet some fields are null for the inner join.

How is this possible?

Check your left and right flows with some browses.  There is probably some null values in both places which are matching.

Thanks for the pointer but found the issue.  I don't why but join sorted the rows which had the ill effect of putting the nulls at the top.

FYI...When joining on Key Field, Alteryx sorts the records behind the scenes in order to make the join more efficient.

yes even i got the same issue, but my workflow works with realtime data , so sometimes the data will be NULL, and it has to perform a join operation. But in this case how to handle the issue when my data is NULL .
