Getting Unique values from two arrays

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by reubcgy

I have two arrays that are basically two SharePoint lists. The arrays hold the ID's of all the items in their lists. LIST A is local and LIST B is on an external network. LIST B will get additional items and so LIST A will need to get those additional items via a daily workflow. I've followed several tutorials (tried this one) and came up with the configuration below: 

 

NRES1.PNGNRES2.PNGNRES3.PNGNRES4.PNG

 

Here are the results below. The unique array still has all of the ID's. It should have found only one unique item.

    Hi @reubcgy ,

     

    The contains is untilized to process string, but the IDs are numbers, so condition there is "equal to", not "contains".

    Please change it into "equal to" and try it again.Annotation 2019-10-28 110902.png
