Hi @kavya.s16 ,

For a simple check, could you try using the Join Datatables Activity with Join Type as Inner Join ?

We could then keep only the columns of the DT1 in the resultant datatable using the DefaultView.ToTable() method.

Let us know if it works out for your case.

@supermanPunch Hi , i tried inner join but it includes both dt1 and dt2 whereas i need only dt1 matches rows , how to use that defaultview.toTable() method?

@kavya.s16 ,

Use the Expression like below in an Assign Statement:

OutputDT = OutputDT.DefaultView.ToTable(false,DT1.Columns.Cast(Of DataColumn).Select(Function(x)x.ColumnName.ToString).ToArray)

Here, OutputDT is result from Join Datatables Activity, DT1 is the datatable whose columns you would want to preserve.

Let us know if it doesn’t work as expected.
