Cross-check one database against another

Hi there,

 

I have two databases (main and dictionary), and I want to check that all the classes in my main database are listed in my dictionary. An example of how the main database looks is:

 

Car DescriptionManufacturer CodeModel
Car No. 1TYCorolla 
Car No. 2MZCX-5
Car No. 3VVXC-90
Car No. 4MTEl Grande
Car No. 5VWGolf

 

And an example of the dictionary database looks like this:

 

Manufacturer CodeDescriptionManufacturer CodeDescriptionManufacturer CodeDescription
TYToyotaMZMazdaTSTesla
VVVolvoMTMitsubishiRRRolls Royce

 

So I want Alteryx to look at the Manufacturer Code column in my main database and check it against the three Manufacturer Code columns in my dictionary database. If there's a Manufacturer Code in my main database that doesn't appear in my dictionary database, I want it (and the associated information - car description, make, etc.) to be pulled into a separate spreadsheet.

 

So using the above as an example, as "VW" appears in my main database but not my dictionary database, I want the output to be:

 

Car Description Manufacturer CodeModel
Car No. 5VWGolf

 

Could someone please help me set this up?

 

Thanks in advance!
