I have two data sets

> Survey results

>Master data

 

These two data sets have different field names. I'm trying to Union the field names by manually configuring the positions. But it doesn't take care of the nulls. There are around 50 fields. How do I get the desired result as shown below.

 

eg:

Master Data

Application NameField_1Field_2Field_3
ShoesNike Reebok

 

Survey Results

App NameF11F29F35
Shoes AdidasUnder Armour

 

Desired Output

Application NameField_1Field_2Field_3
ShoesNikeAdidasUnder Armour

Hi @monish_chandra if you use a transpose tool to change the data into a vertical format you can filter out the nulls then use a crosstab to return to a horizontal format. Merge_sources.PNG
