Joining two tables resulting in duplicates

I'm having difficulty joining table 2 to table 1. I've tried a left join but the final table results in duplicate IDs and I'm not sure why. Table 1 has many more different Codes than Table 2.

Table 1: (has more columns than this)

IDCode
111
212
313
414
515
616
717
818
919
1020
1121

Table 2:

CodeTypeDescription
11Axyz11
18Bxyz12
19Cxyz13
21Dxyz13

Desired resulting table:

IDCodeTypeDescription
111A
212xyz11
313
414
515
616
717
818Bxyz12
919Cxyz13
1020
1121Dxyz14

I would use ApplyMap.  Maybe something like this :

MapType :

Mapping

LOAD

    Code,

    Type

FROM [lib://289355]

(html, codepage is 28591, embedded labels, table is @2);

MapDecription :

Mapping

LOAD

    Code,

    Description

FROM [lib://289355]

(html, codepage is 28591, embedded labels, table is @2);

Data :

LOAD

ApplyMap ( 'MapType' , Code , null() )   as Type ,

    ApplyMap ( 'MapDecription' , Code , null() )   as Description ,

    ID,

    Code

FROM [lib://289355]

(html, codepage is 28591, embedded labels, table is @1);
