Hi, I have three excel files (Product Codes, Product Codes 2 & Product Codes 3) that i want to compare. Each file has product codes that overlaps with either file or all two files. I want to create a workflow where i can see a joint in three files and see the overlap. I am attaching product codes files that i want to compare. any suggestion?

Hi @bsakrani 

 

Yes, Its possible. 

You can use the join tool and the J node helps to fetch the output where there is a match.

 

Many thanks

Hi @bsakrani 

 

Here is the output which you are looking for.

There are 271 product code which is common under all the 3 files which you have shared.

Hi @bsakrani 

 

You can play with joins to check what product code are over lapping the other dataset.

 

Product Code 2: Has 4615 records

Product Code 3: Has 3499 records

 

When we wanted to check the overlap between these 2, I see all the 3499 records from Product Code 3 overlaps with Product Code 2.
