Simplify the formula

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to do the reconciliation of two dataset as below

Dataset 1:

DateNo.ABC
202209011a1b1c1
202209022a2b2c4
202209033a3b5c5

 

Dataset 2:

 

DateNo.ABC
202209011a1b1c1
202209022a2b2c2
202209033a3b3c3

 

After join 2 dataset with Date and No., I got the table

 

DateNo.ABCRight ARight BRight C
202209011a1b1c1a1b1c1
202209022a2b2c4a2b2c2
202209033a3b5c5a3b3c3

 

I want to compare Column A and Column Right A, Column B and Column Right B, Column C and Column Right C.

The output I want is:

DateNo.ABCRight ARight BRight CCheck
202209011a1b1c1a1b1c1Good
202209022a2b2c4a2b2c2C
202209033a3b5c5a3b3c3B&C

 

 

I know I can achieve this using formula IFELSE, but in that case, I will need include all 9 possible situations. Is there a easy way to do that? Thanks

@luo One way of doing this

I think this is a dynamic way, can handle any number of situations.
Assume you can have a full join between Dataset 1 and 2. 😁

Hi @binuacs, Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts here. I believe your last configuration on the Output Column of formula tool would be Check not Right C. And this kind of complicating the process but thanks!

@luo you are right, I changed the field name in the workflow, thanks for catching it

Thanks @Qiu , I think this probably the best solution. The only problem is if I got a full join. Let me try to filter my data.
