Compare output of two tools in a same workflow

Hello All,

 

I am fetching some data from database in a excel file.

 

The first row of file has the number of records fetched from the database and second row onward I have the actual data (where second row has the header and actual data from 3rd row onward).

 

What I want to do is get the number from first row(number of records fetched from the database) and compare it with count of rest of the data(excluding the header on row-2). And if the count matches then only do the further processing.

Can anyone help me with this.

 

Thank you

Hello @akshayhendre ,

 

how about this solution?

 

It compares the values on both sides and if it doesn't work wont continue processing

Thank you @afv2688.

This is what I was looking for.

 

One last question, we want to check if both counts are same but in the Message tool you have used the condition "[Count]!=[Field1]", this is confusing to me.

Hello @akshayhendre ,

 

the condition established is:

 

If the numbers on both sides are different then create the error, else process the workflow
