What is a common error when trying to Union "Employee Name" and "Employee_Name"?

When attempting to Union "Employee Name" and "Employee_Name", a common error arises due to the differing formats of the two field names. In Alteryx, field names are treated as distinct entities, and even small variations such as spaces or underscores can lead to complications. When two fields do not match exactly in name or format, the Union tool requires identical names to combine the fields correctly.

As a result, when using the Union tool, an error will occur since the disparate naming conventions prevent a seamless Union operation. This highlights the importance of consistent naming conventions across datasets to avoid issues during data integration processes. The occurrence of the error emphasizes the need for attention to detail in data preparation stages.
