Use alteryx to find data discrepancy

Hi there,

Just wondering if alteryx tool can be implemented to find data discrepancy between two data set with detailed info or setting background color

 

Suppose we have two data set 
SRC

ID NAMESCOREDEPT
1john22water
2buff33water
3silver44water
4dickson55water

 

TAR

RECORDSTUDENT NAMESCOREDEPT
1john33water
2buff33water
3silver44water
4dickson55water
5alex66water

and i have one mapping info like this  Y stands for primary key that can find unique data

IDRECORD Y
NAMESTUDENT NAMEN
SCORESCOREN
DEPTDEPTN


I want the result like either set the background color for the difference or give the cell information like C2 , R6 has difference.

Any thoughts?

You can use the Join tool for that. Whatever is not in both sets, will be in the R and L outputs.

yup i know join tool can do this, but the critical difficulty is the column name is dynamic read from my mapping file and it might change, cause we need to provide this for a common solution.
