How to left join to a table from one file tables from multiple files?
Hello,
I have 3 tables basically.
Table 1 as below:
Line# | No. | Country | Region | State | Location | Unit | LName | Feature1 | Feature2 | Feature3 | Feature4 | Feature5 | Feature6 | Feature7 | Measure | Quant | Measure1 | Estimate1 | Estimate2 |
---|
This Table 1 is loaded from a single excel file no problem.
Now, Table 2 headers are as below:
P.Name | Date | Name | Type | Model | Value | Currency | No. | LName | Vendor | Country | Region | State | Location | Unit | Type1 | Cat1 | Cat2 | Cat Type | Year | H1 | H2 |
---|
This Table 2 is to be loaded from 5 excel files which have the same headers and format.
Table 3 headers are as below:
PName | Date | Name | Type | Model | Value | Currency | LName | No. | Vendor | Country | Region | State | Location | Unit | Feature1 | Feature2 | Feature3 | Feature4 | Feature5 | Feature6 | Feature7 | Measure | H3 |
---|
Again this table is to be loaded from another set of 5 excel files which have the same headers as above.
Now what I need to do is a Left Join of Table 2 and then Table 3 on Table 1.(Table 1 is Left).
What I have tried is as below:
Table 1:
Load *
FROM
[* Table1.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is XYZ);
Left Join
Table 2:
Load *
FROM
[*.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is ABC);
Left Join
Table 3:
Load *
FROM
[ *.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is DEF);
But I'm not getting the desired result as the join is not happening properly and most fields are being populated as blanks. Please help me achieve this. Thanks in advance!

Do you understand the concept of Left Join in SQL Engine? How and which is keys will work in synthetically? The reason behind, My answer is might you don't have exact values which matching with another table?

No, but the columns No., Country, Region, State, Location etc. are clearly present as common fields in the tables?

May be cheek the Subset Ratio & Information Density for tables. So then we can easily understand the table where we are bending down?
