merge queries but got more than 1 result

I have 2 tables. One is the contacts the other is the call records. I want to merge these 2 tables to see who called us most.

 

The problem is when I merge these 2 tables I got more than 1 mapping results. How can I just expand the first mapping result to the current table?

 

table A

numbercall dateduration
1231-Jan50s

 

table B

namenumber
A123
A1123
A2

123

 

 

result

1231-Jan50sA

Hi @MiaZhao,

 

You are getting more than one result because you have on table B more than 1 line with the match to Table A so when you merge it will get the information from.

 

I don't know if this works but on table A do a group By and select the number and the aggregator MIN name this will give you only row A then just do the merge with that row.

Hi,

 

If there are 3 names against the same number, then you obviously will get moe than 1 mapping record.
