Rahulkanth

Hi Team, I have 2 columns Old and New which contains Text, and each substring is separated by pipe. I would like to compare the Old & New Columns and output the only substring which is unique in nature from New Column. I have created a sample data for your reference.

 

OldNewExpected Output
 Abc(123)Abc(123)
Abc(123)|Bdc(321)Abc(123)|Hij(432)|Bdc(321)Hij(432
Kna(987)|Hij(432)|Abc(123)Pnr(0071)|Abc(123)|Kna(987)|Gfd(091)Pnr(0071)|Gfd(091)
Hij(432)|Abc(123)Hij(432)|Akr(779)Akr(779)
