Create new table based on the comparison of values from two other tables

[skype_see4d]

Hello,
I have following situation. I have table “1” and table “2”, see image.
How do I create table X which will include only Nr. form table “1” which has different description in table 2.

So the end result of data in table for the sample from the image would be:

Nr. from table1, Description from table 1, Description from table 2

90001, Name1, NameXVY

Since only the “90001” has different description in table “2”.

 

Thank you

Matt

First you have to identify the Nr. who have a different Description. Therefore you merge your tables like this:

Make sure that you've check both columns and select the "JoinKind.LeftAnti"-option.

This will return sth like this:

Our table is selected to the correct rows, but the additional column can be ignored (as it is empty).

Next step will be to merge the 2nd table again with this new table, but this time not as a new one, but just in order to create new columns like this:

Choose the following options:

And expand:

This should return what you're after.

Thank you for your help. It worked like a charm. It took me a while to figure out that in first merge several columns are selected.
