Merging Two Tables

I guess I don't fully understand how merge works. I need to merge two Tables together, without increasing my total number of rows... I want to merge these two tables together as seen below, By ID, Customer #, Year.


IDCustomer #Ticket TypeYear
12121L2018
12122S2018
12121L2018
131415L2018
678588L2018
12121L2016
12122L2016
131415S2016

 




IDCustomer #Person TypeYear
12121M2018
12122F2018
12121M2018
131415M2018
678588F2018
12121M2016
12122F2016
131415M2016

 

 

I would like it to look like this...

IDCustomer #YearTicket TypePerson Type
121212018LM
121222018SF
121212018LM
1314152018LM
6785882018LF
121212016LM
121222016LF
1314152016SM



Anyone have any idea what join type I need to use?

Thanks

@chq I assume ID, customer, year make a unique records? You can use lookupvalue function to get the valeu from other table
