Does anyone know how to easily compare the answers to see if they are correct?


Hi @SJKIM , 

 

I use the CReW Macro "Expect Equal". I connect the Solution file with my solution and it tells me where I have mismatches. It's very sensitive, so if things are different orders or if you have nulls and the solution has blanks, those will all flag

I thought this would use the xml tool; but it was a texttocolumns tool - using to rows feature. then we needed to group by Reference ID, Name and increment the name to get the Purchase, Shipment Addresses.
