Do you have any table that links Regions to Channel/City?

I don´t see how we could link those tables if you don´t have a possible key to match records from one table to another

Do you have data that identifies what City & Country belong to which Region?

Hi Rob,

Regions are only defined in table 1 as   APAC, EMEA, LATAM, NA

While table 2 only has names of city + county.

So how would you know which rows of Table2 belong to which region?  To resolve this, you will have to create a table that associates Countries to Regions.

If you have not got the region vs. country look up data then you could probably download something from the web.  A quick search found this https://docs.adjust.com/en/countries-by-region/

Obviously it depends on the exact formats you have for Country and Region in your data.
