Subjunctive relative clause
Que hagan falta uses the present subjunctive because the clause refers to data that may be missing or not yet identified.

✕Common Mistakes
Reúne todos los datos que hacen falta.
The relative clause requires the subjunctive because the data are not yet identified; use 'hagan falta' instead of the indicative 'hacen falta'.
Reúna todos los datos que hagan falta.
Reúna is the formal (usted) imperative; if you are speaking to a peer informally, use 'Reúne'. Mixing registers can sound odd.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces the plain imperative can sound very direct. Adding a polite marker such as "por favor" or using the formal "Reúna" (usted) can soften the request. Also, note that in some regions "recoger" or "compilar" are more common than "reunir" for data collection.
