Hi Everyone,
I have two table that I am trying to merge data in.
In my Travel Data table I have an Origin Code, which relates to the airport of departure.
In my Origin IATA Codes this is the Airport of departure code.
Merging these two tables with a left outer join, should give all the data from my travel data table with the updated information added from the Origin IATA codes Table.
In my travel data table every row has a Origin IATA Code (not unique) and all are valid Origin IATA Codes (unique), so it should be a straight match.
My data has 375109 rows and it says it matches 375109 rows.
When I update my changes
My total goes from
To
I don't understand why there is a difference.
I have compared the before and after using Excel and I can locate where a row has been duplicated as in the example below, but I can't understand why it has acted this way.
I am thinking that perhaps the join is wrong or the relationship?
TIA

What is the result if you choose "Right Outer Join" instead of "Left Outer Join"?

@Osmento your excel tables, does it show the code you are joining on?

So the origin is from the first table and everything from AQ onwards is from the left joined merge table. So the merge has completed but it has also duplicated the data.

Yesterday I tried every type of join and didn't get the correct figure.
When I tried the right outer today the fugure was correct. Thanks for your help.
