Hi, 

 

Can anyone help me with steps I should take to match two different files(select only the common columns) and the result file should Highlight the results that are not matching.

 

Thanks

Hi @tani1989 

 

If you want just to compare 2 data set's headers to determine the non-matching fields you need to transpose both data files then use join multiple to output all records (matched or not).

 

Otherwise, don't hesitate to send un example,
