I have two DataTable variables in PAD and need to join them. Is there a way to do this in PAD without using a SQL database?
@WorkingForFood
The number of columns needs to be the same.
try it sample.
SET NewVar TO {[1, 2, 4], [6, 7, 8] }SET NewVar2 TO {[8, 2, 4], [6, 7, 8], [5, 6, 7] }LOOP LoopIndex FROM 0 TO NewVar2.RowsCount - 1 STEP 1SET NewVar TO NewVar + NewVar2[LoopIndex]END
Thanks for the reply @ZS440 , but it looks like your solution produces a UNION, but I'm looking for a JOIN (specifically LEFT JOIN).
Hi @ZS440 , I know that this is an old post but your solution would be exactly what I need.
But I failed to apply it.
When I apply the last Set variable action, it is like this:
On your screen you don't have the ' among the +.
How did you get that?
Thank you in advance.
@cfoenki
%NewVar% + %NewVar2[LoopIndex]%
Note the "%" and try writing
%NewVar + NewVar2[LoopIndex]%
You're my hero! 🙂
Can i have this for inner join??
I have 2 data tables Dt1 Column data 1 , 2 ,3,5,6,7
DT2 Column data 3, 4,6I want result as 3 , 6 in my output DataTable column
There is no direct way , What would i suggest here is
1. First find the datatable which has lowest number of rows [ for faster iteration]
2. loop through that datatable [smallest rows] and then use find or replace action to find that column value in other datatable and then insert that row into new datatable
Hope this helps !!
If you have excel you can also easily just write each column via a for each into excel and then read that table, resulting in a fully built and combined data table variable.
Hi @Pavel_NaNoi
I didn't get your point
How does writing into excel would help in joining?
If you write each column into a separate column e.g.:
-Write datatable of size 3 columns into Excel in row 1 column 1
-Write datatable 2 of size 1 column into Excel in row 1 column 4
-Read Excel
this will create a new datatable 3 variable with both of those tables together as excel reads them literally.
