Need help joining 2 columns from 2 tables into one

Hello, I have 2 tables (with over 2000 Company IDs) associated with each other using the Customer ID already set up in Qlik Sense. The problem is I have an email field in both tables that I want to combine in the Qlik sense table view.

Below are the 2 tables that I imported to Qlik.

Table1.PNG

Table 2.PNG

Company Id and Email has the 2 same titles so in Qlik it creates a synthetic key and I end up having to rename one of the email columns. I understand I have to do that but, I don't what two different email fields.

Below is what I WANT to be the product of the two tables:

I have no Idea how to write code/script.

Below is the script:

[Sheet1_b8b91eb5-2f56-7a87-2d07-3f055682]:

LOAD [Company ID],

Company ID as ACompany ID,

  [Email] as AEmail,

  [Gross Profit],

FROM [lib://qlikid_shaebert/Account_test_Updated.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

[Sheet1_9788250d-be08-350b-01fc-01f33868]:

LOAD [Phone],

  [Email],

  [Event Type],

  [Company ID]as ACompany ID,

FROM [lib://qlikid_shaebert/Raw_Inport_Test_Updated.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

RENAME TABLE [Sheet1_b8b91eb5-2f56-7a87-2d07-3f055682] TO [Sheet1];

RENAME TABLE [Sheet1_9788250d-be08-350b-01fc-01f33868] TO [Sheet1-1];

Can someone please show me what I have to write for a script for this to view the way I want it to? Thanks for any help, no one has been able to solve this for me.

Hey Shane!

It seems that you have to use LEFT JOIN statement.

For your case something like:

[Table1]:

Load

     [Company ID],

     [Email],

     [Gross Profit]

From

[lib://qlikid_shaebert/Account_test_Updated.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

NoConcatenate

[Table2]:

LOAD

     [Phone],

     [Email],

     [Event Type],

     [Company ID]

From

[lib://qlikid_shaebert/Account_test_Updated.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

Left Join ([Table1])

Load

     [Phone],

     [Email],

     [Event Type],

     [Company ID]

Resident [Table2];

Drop Table [Table2];

Try this thing. Hope it helps!

  [Email] as BEmail,

  [Event Type],

  [Company ID]

FROM [lib://qlikid_shaebert/Raw_Inport_Test_Updated.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

Result:

LOAD *, If(Len(Trim(AEmail)), AEmail, BEmail) as Email

RESIDENT [Sheet1_b8b91eb5-2f56-7a87-2d07-3f055682];

DROP TABLE [Sheet1_b8b91eb5-2f56-7a87-2d07-3f055682]

DROP FIELDS AEmail, BEmail;

Hi Shane,

               I would make a separate table of your e-mail addresses to check that there are no contradictions between your two tables. something like this:

E-mail:

LOAD [Company ID],

  Email as Email1

FROM [lib://qlikid_shaebert/Account_test_Updated.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

Left Join(E-mail)

LOAD

[Company ID],

  Email as Email2

FROM [lib://qlikid_shaebert/Raw_Inport_Test_Updated.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

Left Join(E-mail)

LOAD

[Company ID]

if(Len(Email1)*Len(Email2)>0 and Email1<>Email2,'Mismatch','OK') as Discrepancy

Resident E-mail;

If there are no discrepancies then

MappingEmail:

Mapping

Load

[Company ID],

  Email1 & Email2

Resident E-Mail;

Now join your two tables without an e-mail field, say it's called NewTable. Now

Left Join(NewTable)

Load

Distinct //shouldn't be necessary

[Company ID],

ApplyMap('MappingEmail',[Company ID],'No e-mail address') as E-mail

Resident NewTable;

Good Luck

This almost worked. Referring to the picture examples: If table 2 had no value, the join would not return the value in table 1.

So Customer ID 6 ends up having no data for the email

Then it's only way to change the script like the following:

[Table1]:

Load

     [Company ID],

     [Email1],

     [Gross Profit]

From

[lib://qlikid_shaebert/Account_test_Updated.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

NoConcatenate

[Table2]:

LOAD

     [Phone],

    [Email2],

     [Event Type],

     [Company ID]

From

[lib://qlikid_shaebert/Account_test_Updated.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

Left Join ([Table1])

Load

     [Phone],

     If(Len(Email1)<>0, Email1, Email2) as Email,

     [Event Type],

     [Company ID]

Resident [Table2];

Drop Table [Table2];

I hope this will help you, Shane!
