Match multiple fields to a single field in a different input

Hi, 

I am  setting up a workflow which will allow me to track whether or not we have called a customer. I have two inputs. There is a "calls placed" input which contains only a list of phone numbers we've called and a "customer info" input which has customer ID and associated phone numbers.  For customer phone numbers their are three separate fields: work, cell, and home phone number. I need to see if any of the three phone number fields in the "customer info" input match the phone number field in the "calls placed" input. I don't need to know which phone number was used just whether or not a call was made to the customer. I know I can do successive joins and then union to find out who we did and did not call, but I was wondering if there is a cleaner way to go about this.

Thanks,

Becky

Hi @BeckyS  you could use a transpose tool then you would only need one join. I mocked up a workflow.Transpose.JPG

Thanks JS420! I don't actually have a customer ID field in the "calls made" input but this still works to match the phone numbers in a single join.
