Hey community,

I am facing a troublesome situation right now, maybe you guys can help me. Following:

 

Column_1 contains an ascending list of strings.

Column_2 contains strings mixed up in order, but basically they are a duplicate of entries from column_1.

Column_3 contains entries dependent on Column_2

 

what do I want to achieve:

I want to check where entry 1 from Column_1 is in Column_2 and then take the concatenated value from Column_3 and put it in row 1. 

 

How is this possible???

in Excel I would just use match or index with an if condition somehow. but with Alteryx I dont get an ouput if I use the JOIN Tool as the first entries of Column_1 and Column_2 do not match. And it is not looking any further down in Column_2 to find it. So it just stopps. 

 

 

PLEASE HELP ME ;)

Coco
