Hi, between 2 tables you must have all unique column names except 2 which you will use as inner join key. Now you have 2 names, ID and ID2 in both tables, and when you try to inner join 2 tables, qlik is trying to create synthetic key ID+ID2 and there are no rows where ID and ID2 are the same in both tables (so you receive empty table as result). Simple, rename one ID to other name, or just load only one column from table 2.
