How to do a join based on multiple groups?

I want to do a unique type of join, but I am not sure if it's possible. Basically, I have a list of Record IDs from 1-5:

 

Record ID Original
1
2
3
4
5

 

I have a separate table that also has Record IDs, so that's where the join would come into play:

 

DateRecord ID
1/30/20192
1/30/20194
2/30/20191

 

However, I want to join this so the result has something for each Original Record ID for each date. So here the output would look like:

 

DateRecord IDRecord ID Original
1/30/2019NULL1
1/30/201922
1/30/2019NULL3
1/30/201944
1/30/2019NULL5
2/30/201911
2/30/2019NULL2
2/30/2019NULL3
2/30/2019NULL4
2/30/2019NULL5

 

Is this type of join possible in Alteryx? The actual data I'm working with is a lot more complex than this example, so I am hoping I can automate this somehow. I am also trying to avoid adding dates to the first table and including that in my join if possible

 

Thanks in advance!

@AmyL1 I think you are looking for the append fields tool combined wtih the formula, sort and unique tool.
