How to get the matching column data from source file to output file

if there are 2 excel files, the data from 1 st excel file should be get into second file but only matched column data should be get.

Hi @anjani_priya

You can use the below LINQ Expression in assign activity,

- Assign -> Output_DT = DT1.AsEnumerable.Where(Function(X) DT2.AsEnumerable.Any(Function(Y) Y("Column name").ToString.Equals(X("Column name").ToString))).CopyToDataTable()

X(“Column name”) - Here give the column name of DT1 with in braces.
Y(“Column name”) - Here give the column name of DT2 with in braces.

Hope it helps!!

there are 35 columns, all should be done at a time

Do you mean, you want to compare each and every column in DT1 and DT2… @anjani_priya

yes every column should compare

Okay @anjani_priya

Compare each column value between two DataTables (DT1 and DT2) and store the filtered rows where all column values are equal in Output_DT, then use the below LINQ Expression,

- Assign -> Output_DT = DT1.Clone()

- Assign -> Output_DT = DT1.AsEnumerable().Where(Function(row1) DT2.AsEnumerable().Any(Function(row2) DT1.Columns.Cast(Of DataColumn).All(Function(col) row1(col.ColumnName).ToString() = row2(col.ColumnName).ToString()))).CopyToDataTable()

Hope it helps!!

Assign
  To: matchingColumns
  Value:
  (From col1 In dataTable1.Columns.Cast(Of DataColumn)()
   Join col2 In dataTable2.Columns.Cast(Of DataColumn)()
   On col1.ColumnName Equals col2.ColumnName
   Select col1.ColumnName).ToList()
Assign
  To: resultTable
  Value:
  (From row1 In dataTable1.AsEnumerable()
   Join row2 In dataTable2.AsEnumerable()
   On row1("ID") Equals row2("ID") ' Adjust the joining column
   Select resultTable.LoadDataRow(matchingColumns.Select(Function(col) row1(col)).ToArray(), False)).CopyToDataTable()


should compare all the columns.
