Finding Unique Values from 2 datasets

Hi,

 

I need to find the 5 unique records highlighted in red below, based on the 2 data sets (left and right).

 

I've tried to use the unique tool, but that only compares each dataset separately. How can i crosscheck both data sets and split the output into 10 duplicate records, and 5 unique records. 

 

This dataset is simplified from a larger dataset.

Hi @kyiu 

 

You actually can use a join tool to identify non matching records.

 

See Attached.

 

Best,
