Hi @troy_mech,

 

I would recommend doing a Join where you Union the results that come out of the L and R sides (see below).  The J will be the records that match from each table, the L and R will be the non-matches.  I've attached an example yxmd as well:

I have extracted unmatched values from Table 1. I need to add those values in Table2 but the file is being used by alteryx. One more challenge is Table 1 have three columns A, B and C whereas Table 2 have six columns A, B, C, D, E and F.

Here I'm comparing two tables, one is retrieved from excel file. Post comparing matching values, need to add unmatched values from Table 1 (Left join) need to be added in the existing file.

got it. you can add an output to the unmatched records and have that output update the input file. hopefully this helps

Sorry for coming again, Do I need add "Block Until Done” tool before the output tool. Table1 have three column and how this will add into Table2 which have six columns.
