Match and merge 2 excel spreadsheets to reduce the number of fields

[DeborahParfitt]

Hello Team

I have 2 different spreadsheets, a) with approx 100 records and b) approx 35k records.  I need to match the reference number in a) with b) to reduce the number of records before reading into a collection.

Any suggestions on best way to do this.

Many thanks

Debbie

Hi,

1. Use loop for collection a) and Filter collection for each reference number to match reference in b)
2. Save outputs in new collection - Either by Append rows to collection or by using Add Rows and Calc stage.

Thanks you Manish

Do you know if Blue Prism can easily handle reading in 35k records (57 columns) into a collection?

Hi Deborah,

Believe 35k records (57 columns) will be little hard on BP . Definitely it can load into collection however challenge will be to visualize data loaded into collection.
May be you want to play with Excel Macro so that data can be trimmed down.
