Easiest Way to Output Statistics for Table Difference Finder

We are using the Table Difference Finder to validate data transformations and verify that target tables match the source for tests. This is a great way to automate our tests but I’d like to create a file or report that shows the statistics of differences (hoping for zero) and do this for a number of table difference finders so that I can run tests on 10 tables and then output the results for audit purposes. I’ve been playing with Cross Joiner, and other nodes but not having a lot of luck, especially when trying to combine the results for each of the 10 flows.

Hello @UtilityHawk,

From my understanding of what it sounds like, you got multiple flows, which. I assume you are trying to tie them in together at the end for a report.

A simpler way I can think of is you should wrap these flows in a component and try out the reporting extension. Take each of the 10 resulting tables and compile them into 1 pdf for the report.

Although if you specifically want the 10 result tables to be combined, I think a Concatenate node would be more applicable than a cross join as cross joins are intended to produce every possible combination of rows based on the input tables.
