I have two disparate data sources that each contain an Employee ID field that I need to perform a join with. One data source enforces a 6 character length, the other data source doesn't. Because of this, Employee IDs in one system are 6 characters long, with preceeding zeros, but the other data source isn't (e.g. 0000405 in system one, but 405 in system two). Even though this is the same employee, I can't figure out how to join the two datasets.
Any ideas?
