Problem creating unique values to create a relationship
Hi
I'm trying to join two tables together through a relationship but am having trouble.
My data is of a Building (type text) , which has Floors and Rooms which can both be a mix of text and number names (type any).
In order to create a relationship based on the Room column, I attempted to create a unqiue values table by referencing the Room_Mapping table, removing all by columns apart from Room, and removing duplicates.
However, when I try to join the two tables together based on the Room column, I keep getting the following message.
I have a feeling that this error is coming because the data type is a mix of text and numbers that it is getting confused because when I go to look at the data in Data view, I can see that the data for Phase and Room fields have been converted to Text type.
Please can any one help? I have attached a link to the workbook and data in the link below.

Many thanks in advance.
You have case sensitive in Room on Room_UniqueValues. and have null as well.
Action to be take
Change into Lower or Upper case. and remove null.

Hope youn have blank in Room_UniqueVales table. Try to remove blank and try the relationship.

Hi, thanks for quick reply. I had a go at removing blanks and joining the tables again, but I get the same error message.
