Are you able to confirm the data from the left and right of the join have the same values in and thus should match?

 

If you could send a screenshot of each with the fields in question that would be great.

yes I can confirm that the input is totally the same. 

I mean there is no order why 46 out of 278 entries match and the others dont !? 

 

maybe you know any trick i can try out ? ;D

thank you

Hi @die_Corinna

 

There shouldn't be any tricks, if the information is the same Alteryx will match them together ;-)

 

Are you able to upload the two different inputs and your workflow so I can check the set up?
