How to combine two excel files with same fields but different data (different years)?..

Answer / Asha Sharma

To combine two Excel files with the same fields but different data, you can follow these steps:
1. Open both files in Tableau: Load each file as a separate data source in Tableau.
2. Match the fields: Make sure that the common fields have been recognized by Tableau and match them if necessary.
3. Create a union: In the data pane, right-click on one of the tables and select Union.
4. Combine the tables: Select the second table to be combined and click Ok.
5. Fill missing years: Once the tables are combined, you can use Tableau's date functions or calculations to fill any missing years with appropriate values.
