remove column in Table B based on Table A's column

Hi Team,

 

I have one question may need your help. I have a Table A with column A,B,C. and a Table B with column D,C,F. Is there a way I can automatically drop Table B's column which is existed in Table A? like in this case, should drop column C. 

 

I tried to use the join and then select "right" output, but it seems the join output will keep the join key inside which still keeps the C column.

 

How can I exclude those columns existing in Table A from Table B? Thank you so much.

Hi, Thank you for your kind suggestion. Sorry I didn't make myself clear. My condition is the incoming table is dynamic, so the column name is changing everytime. is there a way i don't need to manually pick column everytime? that it can compare two tables and automatically select the excluding columns.

@Carrot_WinWin this should help, similar logic to @Manoj_k but with a dynamic select

Hi Carrot_Winwin,

I would like to suggest you to try Dynamic input tool for both your input where you can create the input query as per your need. I guess this could be achieved using simple input tool as well.

 

Thanks
