Hi,

 

I have a problematic that I could not solve

 

Suppose we have data base with a list of client and their purchases, and an other data base with the list of product and their respective attributes as below :

 

Client IDPurchase 1Purchase 2Purchase 3 Purchase 4
Client 1Product AProduct BProduct CProduct D
Client 2Product EProduct FProduct GProduct A
Client 3Product IProduct JProduct KProduct L
Client 4Product HProduct IProduct K 
Client 5Product JProduct NProduct BProduct N
Client 6Product OProduct PProduct Q 
Client 7Product SProduct T  

 

Product SupplierPrice
Product   ASupplier A150
Product   BSupplier B200
Product   CSupplier C300
Product   DSupplier D366
Product   ESupplier E441
Product   FSupplier F516
Product   GSupplier G592
Product   HSupplier H667

@DataScientist ,

 

I've joined with transpose for you as requested:

The data in table 2 contained non-whitespace characters.  They were interfering with the join, so I replaced them with a space.  I did get more join results than you have in your table.  As an example, Client 2 has a product A purchase that isn't contained in your results.  I hope that this workflow helps to solve your challenge.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark
