@Fayzeh Join the 2 data inputs using join tool. You'll have to do this using a common key column between both the data inputs. Then when u run the workflow you will see some records that are not matched in the left and right streams of the join tool.

Attached is the workflow that will take care of all the column headers (Existing or new) and give you the difference in the tabular format.
