Joins allow you to use data from two or more tables in a single Tableau view. There are different types of joins - with an Excel data connection you can do either a left join or an inner join. A left join ensures that all of the data from the first table is included, even if no match is found in the second table used in the join. An inner join will not include any data unless a match is found between the first and second table. If more than one match is found, more that one row will result from the join. 

Data blending is similar to joins in that blending allows you to combine multiple data tables. The difference, though, is that joins duplicate data each time the join criteria is met. See joins and blends compared in Tableau.
