Joiner

Hello Friends, i have one question about the joiner for example, I would like to match two files with each other

i have two csv reader and one joiner 

in one csv file are ids for example 1, 2,3, 4, 5, 6

in the second one 1,2,3,4,

now  I would like to join them, and to set a Flag about these ids, which are not existing in both of them, how i can realize this in knime ?

 

thank you for your attention

 

Ayooooo.

Without knowing what you are doing with the data, it's difficult suggest the best approach.

if you simply want to know which are not existing from the second set compared to the first set, you can use the reference row filter node for this, choosing exclude as the option.

You could also add a constant value column to the second dataset using constant value node using the label "flag". Then use the cell replacer node to point to this new flag column, using the id columns as the reference columns.

You could also in the joiner node make sure it doesn't remove the duplicate Id column from the settings in the joiner node so you have two Id columns after the join. You could then use the Rule Engine node to use the logic that if one id column is a value and one id column is missing, then put a "flag" it into a new column.

hope this helps to give you some ideas.

Thank you, i choose the second option, and it worked, also i did use the value counter, to find out, how often there are in the big file, THANK YOU^^
