Is there any other way to combine it easily in just one tool? even though they have different common fields per file? Could you help me with this one pls?

Hello @dunkindonut7777 ,

 

There is no way to join two or more files based on different common fields on a same tool. There is on the other way a way to create a system that automatically detects the common fields and uses them to join the files togheter. This system depends on both files having the same name for the common fields. It is something I created a while ago.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Regards
