Matching ID's

I am trying to see if ID's in column Party/Registry ID are in the Customer Party Number - Bill To. If it shows up in the Customer Party Number Column can you assist me with adding a third column with Accounted for or Not included.

So, checking whether any value from the left column is in the right column?

Are they exact matches, or contains matches?

If exact, separate the 2 columns into 2 different streams and then use a join to find all the matches. Formula and Union to create extra field, bring it all back to a complete list etc.

They should have some matching values but when I join the stream it populates an error even after assigning the same "type" match.

You are changing the type in the Join. It needs to be changed before the join. 

 

Also, if these are ID's then they should be strings not numbers.
