Checking for same row in Excel

[B.D]

Hi everyone,

I made a workflow, which basicly should perform the following task.

1. upload File1 and File2 in DT1 and DT2
2. compile each row of DT1 and DT2 into a string. (rowstring1 and rowstring2 variable)
3. compare the first row of File1 (rowstring1) with all rows of File2 (rowstring2)
4. each time when the content is the same it should add +1 to T_sum variable
5. continue with row number 2 of File1 compare it to all rows of File2 add +1 to T_sum. go to row number 3 of File 1 and so on…

some additional info: both files File1 and File2 have 60-70 rows which are filled. but the Excel list goes until 402 both in File1 and File2.

To my question: the result at the end is something like 109000 (rows with the same content). but at this current stage the result should be should be 60-70 rows with same content. why is it displaying this absurd result ?

even if it is counting all empty rows (empty rowstring variables) the result should be 402 max.

Second question would be: how can I exclude emty variables of rowstring1 and rowstring2. I tried in the condition of the first while loops “rowstring1.trim.length <> 0 Andalso rowstring2.trim.length <> 0”. and I also tried “rowstring1.equals(”“) = false Andalso rowstring2.equals(”“) = flase”. both methods don’t seem to work.

here is the file:
Main.xaml (12.2 KB)
thanks for your help!

P.S: sorry for uploading it here but there is apparently no ‘Rookies’ section anymore.

Once try to print the how many rows of data that files contains first and then check once.

      Int rowCount = DT1.Rows.Count
      Int rowCount1 = DT2.Rows.Count

rowcount1 = 401 and rowcount2 = 401. any idea ?

Can you share the sample screenshot of your excel and screenshot of your code ( I can’t download your workflow due to my system restrictions)?
