I want to compare data of Table 1 to Table 2 and based on the comparision, I want the output .
Table 1 is the main table and has all the fields populated.
Table 2 will have some fields missing for item sometimes..example- length, breath...etc
I want the whole item line from table 2 as an output if any of the fields has missing data.
Table 2 can have more lines of items but the output should have only those lines which are in Table 1.

here is a workaround for you.
1. merge table and find out the exactly match records and filter out them.
2. use left ID merge table 2 again to get the data from table 2.

@amitchandak Sorry to mention that Number of Columns in both the tables are not same and the "if condition" to check which line to to selected from Table 2 will be based on the following columns only and not other columns-
Inner Qty | Outer Qty | Inner Length | Inner Width | Inner Height | Inner Weight | Avg. Carton Weight | Outer Width | Outer Height | Outer length |
