Getting Data In

Inner Join

Let say I have 2 lookup files , lookup1  has 50 values and other have 150 values
so when I inner join  lookup1 to lookup 2 it gives me low results but when i reverse it results change and are higher.

First load the lookups and then group both realms using stats.

Try to do something like this and adjust it to your needs,  assuming there is a field that is common in both data sets:

 

|inputlookup lookup1
|inputlookup lookup2 append=true
| stats values(fieldA) AS fieldA (...) by fieldB_common_in_both_datasets

 

 

If there is not common field, use rename or eval to create that common field before the stats:

| inputlookup lookup1
| inputlookup lookup2 append=true
| rename fieldC as fieldB
| stats values(fieldA) AS fieldA (...) by fieldB
