Check If data exists in an uploaded file

Hi team,

 

I have to add a list of employees at my back end(AX and excel) .I can  upload an excel file which has details of the employees.While adding the data to the grid and submitting it I have to check whether the same email id is present in the AX system or in the uploaded excel file. I'm very confused as how to check for duplicate entry in the uploaded file. 

I have a seperate text box and Upload button to add the excel file. Please Help.

    Hi @sayalides 

    There is a great video about duplicates by Shane Young( @Shanescows ) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap3_Ea9H8b0 

    NB: Use Trim() and Lower() around the email addresses to prevent differences in case or inclusion of blank spaces in the address from messing up the comparison between the two files.
