Hi, I have used the join function on multiple occasions to find matches between two data sets using one common field, however I am faced with a new project where i need to ideally identify a match using two common fields.
EXAMPLE - SERIAL NUMBERS, and ASSET NUMBERS.
FILE 1 CONTAINS,
SERIAL NUMBER - ABCD, ASSET NUMBER - EFGH
SERIAL NUMBER - 1234, ASSET NUMBER - 5678
FILE 2 CONTAINS,
SERIAL NUMBER - ABCD, ASSET NUMBER - EFGH
SERIAL NUMBER - 1234, ASSET NUMBER - 9876
Is there a way to create a flow so it will say... have an output of MATCH SERIAL AND ASSET/ NO MATCH SN, NO MATCH AN, NO MATCH EITHER, as on some occasions the SERIAL NUMBERS may match but the ASSET NUMBERS from the files may not?
Ideally I would have on my output, a tab that says
1. MATCH SERIAL NUMBER AND ASSET NUMBER
2. MATCH SERIAL NUMBER
3. MATCH ASSET NUMBER
4. NO MATCH TO EITHER
I initially thought i would simply do a join on Serial first, then a join on asset however some Equipment's have different serials to assets and the data was getting matched incorrectly.
Any help or guidance would be great.
