Exclusion Table

Hello, I have a table with 4 columns. Then I have a combination list (of those 4 columns) that need to be excluded. I guess I can do !Contain command with 100s of lines but is there an easier way? 

 

E.g - the main table

 

Col 1col 2col3col4
333222C100
111999C230

 

 

The exclusion table

 

Col1Col2Col3Col4
111999  

 

So in this example the main table needs to exclude any rows that have col1 value of 111 and col2 value of 999.

Hi @zalakinc 

 

Could you provide some example with dummy data? (Input and expected output).

 

Thanks.

If i understood well, this is a perfect case to join main table and exclusion table by col1 and col2 keys, and keep just the left rows from the join. Makes sense? The workflow is attached.
