left join the columns you need from the second table onto the first

load * from Table1;

left join (Table1)

load

ProductNumber, //the field to join on - add more if needed

FiscalYear as FiscalYearTable2,

Origin as OriginTable2

from Table2

And then use if statements to fill the null values on the full table in a new load :

load

....,

if isnull(FiscalYear), FiscalYearTable2, FiscalYear) as FiscalYear

etc.

then drop the fields you do not need any longer

drop FiscalYearTable2

etc.

This is not working code, it is for illustration purposes only

Hi,

Use outer join

Try like

final_table

load * from table1;

outer join

load * from table2;

Hi,

Try to join this tables

tmpTable1:

Load ProductNumber,    ProductName,    FiscalYear,    Origin,    Sales From Source;

Join

tmpTable2:

Load ProductNumber,    ProductName,    FiscalYear,    Origin,    Sales From Source;

NoConcatenate

FinalTab:

LOAD * Resident tmpTable1 Where Len(FiscalYear) > 0 and Len(Origin) > 0;

DROP Table tmpTable1;
