Multi-Row Comparison

I receive a file twice a week listing shipments and expected arrival dates. I have a workflow to process the data and identify rows where the data changed from the last file. As many as four fields of data may have changed. I am trying to find a way to identify which field(s) changed, what the original value was, and what the new value is. The screen capture shows an example of the data I am working with showing a field with changed data. Any thoughts on how best to do this?

I suppose we can do a transpose for the Columns requiring for comparing, which should be dynamic.

If you could update some data, I can provide a sample workflow, I believe. 😁

@cmford  You can achieve this by using mix of Transform tools. If you can share the workflow and input file with expected output I can help you with workflow. If no then I would suggest you can use transform or cross tab for this. Cross tab is generally used when you want to change the vertical data to horizontal and Transform is used for vice versa.
