Issue joining data to union

Hi all,

 

I am trying to join back my original dataset to the filters and unions I do. (first red box on left)

However I want to keep my same number of records of my unions

The reason I select column by column, filter out the not nulls then union, is because I append all the non null values in each column to one new formula field.(ID final)

The issue is i need the corresponding columns from my first select.. so the columns that belong to those non null for each column.

it is abit complicated but any help would be appreciated.

@clmc9601  thanks for all your help! I had another question, some people are confusing me, they are associated with a Mainframe ID and Employee ADMMI  , for example "JOHN.SMITH" but for some reason I do not have this record in your output. Is this being lost somewhere? I see it for alot of people who have names like JOHN.SMITH, with the "." in between.

@wonka1234, yes, records are lost where all 12 values in consideration for IDFinal are null. I identified them here, and you can union them back to your desired output if you'd like.
