Hi-

 

We have files saved daily with a uniform title, file 1 5.3, file 1 5.4 file 1 5.5, etc.  I want to set up a workflow to tell me if unique values in column 1 of the 5.3 file are in the 5.4 file and if not listed which ones dropped and if in the 5.4 file but not the 5.3 file to let me know of those new unique codes

Hi I would use the unique tool then do a find replace in the unique anchor to see what lines are duplicate and remove them, then with a filter then I would use a find replace to find the values in the other files, it's hard to explain without your database if you could provide the files you were using it would hep me
