Identify which fields did not match in a join

aka_ash

Hi,
I am building a workflow that has a join looking at matching multiple fields from the 2 sources.

Wanted to know if there is a way I can identify which fields in the left and right outputs did not match and remain unjoined.

 

Is this possible to do?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @bhrmitra ,

 

That output is what i am looking to achieve however I did notice that the Join formula's used in the workflow is specifically for data same as the clean test data provided.

 

My actual data will be varying between different length strings, dates, fixed decimals, it will also be be around 20+ columns and 100000+. The matching fields 

 

Is a similar workflow achievable for varying data fields?

 

Thanks,

Ash

Hi,

 

I feel anything that is manually achievable in excel can be definitely automated using alteryx. 

 

It would be really helpful if you could share all your requirements at a time. This is really save both of our time. I hope you understand.

 

Thanks,
