Hi, 

 

how can i made a row comparison and have a third row to be 1 or 0 (matched or not matched) for all columns?

If you want to check to see if all values match for every row, you can do a Join and use every field as the join criteria. Anything that matches 100% would come out of the J output. Anything different would come out of L and R.

 

You can also pivot your data to have the values vertically, and then use a formula for the difference. 

 

See attached for examples of both.

Hi thanks for your help. 

 

there is one slight change in my data. now i have to compare the last two rows which is total before/after filters. 

 

in this case, your solution may not work.

You can add a filter for the two lines you'd like to compare prior to the rest of the workflow.

 

I think the first approach is more useful because it isolates the exact fields.
