Hi, 

 

Below is what I am trying to do, any idea is appreciated!

 

Input File 1: 

Column AColumn B
a01d04
b02e05
c03f06

 

Input File 2:

Column AColumn B
a01d04
b02e005
g07h08

 

Input File 3:

Column AColumn B
a01d04
b02e05
g07h08
i09j10

 

Output file:

Column A-1Column A-2Column A-3Validation-Column AColumn B-1Column B-2Column B-3Validation-Column B
a01a01a01TRUEd04d04d04TRUE
b02b02b02FALSEe05e005e05FALSE
c03  FALSEf06  TRUE
 g07g07FALSE h08h08TRUE
  i09FALSE  j10TRUE

 

In the output file, I need to compare the columnA-1,A-2&A-3, taking the nulls into account, only exact match should return "TRUE", for ColumnB-1,B-2&B-3, I need to ignore nulls. 

 

Thank you in advance! L

Hi @BattleBat ,

 

I've used the pivoting tools to hopefully future-proof this.
