Help with disappeared column

OierMk

Good morning,

I am trying to use several join operators to be able to make 1 to n relationships from several tables created previously.

That join seems to have only the new table Accessibility and the previously selected attributes. 
The weird thing is that I have not selected Id_Marcas, anywhere and it appears alone. 


Where I have the box Rename, I have renamed id to id_marcas, as I am going to do many joins afterward. I don't get the point of reusing the column as there are different joins with different attributes and tables. 

Thank you

Hi, Egun on @OierMk,

I recommend you to verify the output of Operators using a breakpoint after. 

Can you share your process in order to reproduce the error?

OierMk

Aupa, 

these are the images of the process with the breakpoints.


Original process

After the replacing the null or inexistent values

The "marcas" table after "Id" column changes its name to "Id_Marcas"


The result of the first join

Result after selecting the valid attributes

The result after the 2nd join

Where has the id of accessibility gone?

Composition of the join

Thank you soo much

Caperez

Aupa @OierMk,

Please read this thread to learn how to share your process. Is the easy way to help you.

for the pictures I suppose that your Attributes are not the same type.

Check if both attributes are real, or polynominal, etc.

Oh sorry, it has been my first post, I didn't know it. I think that all attributes are the same type.

Well done @OierMk, 
Can you share a sample of your datasets?
Best

OierMk

Thank you @ceaperez. I am uploading the files on this post

Caperez

Hi @OierMk, 
Please remove the "label" role to the id_Marcas Attribute. in some place you change the role of this attribute. 
That's the why it appear, even if you don't select it.

Best

OierMk

Hi @ceaperez I know what you mean, but doing so, I will have only 1 column with the id of every join, i would be rewriting the same column instead of creating new ones in each join, which is what i want.

Caperez

Hi @OierMk, 
Now i'm confused. that is not the original question. If you want to preserve both attributes in in a join operator you need to check the option "keep the both join attributes" That's what you need?

Best

OierMk

I want to do a simple join as in sql, I am trying to normalize the data until I get the 3rd normal form. To do so, I am taking all the data from excel and I have splitted all the possible tables following the rules. Now, I am trying to link all the data of the different tables into the main table with all the attributes. For so I need to get all the primary keys, the ones I am trying to add to the main table with the joins. 

Did I make myself clearer?

Thank you for your time @ceaperez sorry for the misunderstanding.

Caperez

Hi @OierMk, 

Don't worry. I'm here to help.

You are almost there. In your datasets you don't have any attribute named id accesibilidad. 

Best

OierMk

Hi @ceaperez

I know, i have an attribute called id. Even so, i change the name with a box called rename attribute to try that way not to overwrite the data i have. The point is that i don't know what is happening because the join doesn't give me the new id joined at the second join.

Caperez

Aupa @OierMk, 

Something like this?

OierMk

That's exactly what I need! How did you get it @ceaperez?

Caperez

Hi @OierMk, 

Please find attached the process.

Please try it using the original files, not with stored ones.

OierMk

Thank you @ceaperez! I will look at it tomorrow. I am a bit busy now with other issues. Again, thanks
