In order to do this, you would need to create Paxata projects for each one of your datasets to bring them to the desired common format. Once this is done in a project, you could publish these projects to the Paxata Library and then create a fresh Paxata project to row append all the desired projects.
I hope this makes sense to you! Let me know if you need any further clarifications!
Another approach would be to append the files in a single project first. Then expand each individual Append step and do the specific transformations to that dataset. By the way, this technique can also be done when doing a Lookup too.
I was able to find the "expand Append option" after which I can see the "import" step. This is nice. But what I am missing is that once I reach this step, I am unable to do schema transformation based on Lookups. That step alone is disabled while I am at the import step. All other options are available....Argh Argh! Any solutions
Hi @MagmaMan, it is not possible to do add a lookup/append step as a sub-step before a lookup/append. This is a product design decision. You can add the lookup step after the append is performed. Another option is to do your lookup in a separate project, publish the output (answerset), and append the answerset to your main project. Does that help?
@mikeblanko Thanks..... Ah... I can understand if Append is not allowed again...as it leads to a recursive trap... but why not lookup? btw.. I already accomplished this using a separate projects.... possibly tag all these projects to make them traceable as well... But, still if all are stored in a single project, it will be really good.
