Hello,

 

I tried joining two tables with no common field, but could not figure it out.

 

Both tables has over hundreds of records. I have also attached a sample file with different tabs of data.

 

Mapping of fields

 

Name_idCar_id
AIM21aaims
AO21all
AR21ro
ATL21atl
BAY21 
BH22bh
BUR21bhdc
CC820 
CHV21eys
CLR21stone
CO21idad
CPT2021copton
CPT21den

 

Table 1

 

IdName_idValueLocation
5e-3b68638bd140AIM21SERSNew York
3r5-46788CPT2021CaptGermany
343678CLR21RectNorway
281930CC820CRIDIndia

 

Table 2

 

 

Car_idQtyYear
aaims21/15/2022
copton511/19/2019

 39/10/2020

 

 

Expected Result

@hay_001 if you select join by position option you will get the desired result

@binuacs Thanks, but join with position option won't work. Both tables have over hundreds of records.

Hi @hay_001 

 

Here is a way of doing it, add the field mapping to Table 1, so that stream has the corrisponding value for Car_ID in Table 2, then join on Car_ID:

@hay_001 in that case you can use the multiple join tool to get the desired result
