This action creates a table with all possible combinations (i.e. Cartesian product) of rows in two tables.

Cross Merge can be helpful in a number of cases:

• Generating a custom calendar
• Performing a complex merging/matching, where all possible combinations are later filtered using a complex condition.

The reference to the second table will appear as a dotted line connecting this action to the second dataset in the application window.

This action can produce extremely large tables, so make sure that you’re not cross-merging large tables. To estimate the number of rows in the resulting table, multiply the number of rows in both source datasets.

EasyMorph can handle tables with up to 536 million records only.

Create a custom calendar that includes quarters 2 and 4 in the years 2016 and 2017.

Table 1: Years

Table 2: Quarters 2 and 4

Merge table: "Quarters"
