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


Hi @SJKIM ,

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.
