I've found the answer,&nbsp;1. using merger queries&nbsp;LeftOuter ( tracking table as first table, and outstanding as second table )2. expand desired columns from outstanding table in tracking table3.&nbsp;using replace value on desired column if from column expansion has a value&nbsp;I don't know if there is another quick way, but this is the only way I found.
