File compare Module for Non regression testing

Hello again,

I am trying to figure out an efficient and hopefully automated way to compare two seperate files containg the same fields.

So far I have managed to make something that requires changing data in: Text to Columns; Dynamic Fields; Key; Transpose; Output

My problem is that this is very time consuming since I have about 100 different file groups to compare so I have to manually modify every single one of them.

 

I am also confronted with having to create a unique Key for each line that needs to be compared in every file, this Key tends to change for each file type because they contain different data. I haven't found a way around this. Maybe someone has a bright idea !

 

Here is what my module looks like, it is in French but I hope you get the idea:

 

Module alteryx.PNG

For outputs I have 4 files:

-In file 1 only

-In file 2 only

-No change

-With change

 

Anything would help...

 

Best regards,

 

T

@T-Dub,

 

I think that we're set on installing the macro and then calling the macro from another workflow.
