Comparison of fields in same sheet

rachana19

Hi All,

 

I am working on a use case where I have below sample data -

 

MainSource 1Source 2Source 3
NameCityCountryNameCityCountryNameCityCountryNameCityCountry
JonHamburgGermanyJonHamburgGermanyJonHamburgGermanyJonHamburgGermany
EvanMumbaiIndiaRiyaBangaloreIndiaEvanMumbaiIndiaEvanMumbaiIndia
LilySydneyAustraliaLilySydneyAustraliaThomasMilanItalyGarySydneyAustralia

 

Here I need to compare the main section with all sources - source 1, source 2 and source 3.

For e.g., Compare Name in Main with Name in Source 1, Source 2 and Source 3. If matches write Source 1 Name value in output in green color

For e.g., Compare City in Main with City in Source 1, Source 2 and Source 3. If does not match write Source 1 City value in output in red color

 

There are more scenarios. But to start with, could you please help me to understand what would be the best approach?

Shall I first split input file to 4 different inputs then compare? Or can I do it keeping them in same input.

 

Thanks a lot,

Rachana

Putting sample data again in image format as earlier format is not correct

Hi @rachana19 ,

 

Quick fix.

Change the "start data import on line" in the input tool configuration to 2. Like below.

The data will be transformed to like below which will be easy for manipulation and applying condition.

Hope this helps

 

Cheers and Happy Analyzing 🙂

Could you share the sample data source in excel.

Thanks for the solution. I could use this to compare the fields from the same source.
