Merge issue

Hello, 

 

I can't seem to fix this issue, below.   I am positive that both fields are of the same type.   Any ideas what could be causing this?    Anything to do with the order of query editor steps?

Hi,

Did you check if there is any null value in column or the data type is "ABC123" or the values in column arent distinct?
