    What do you mean by order? You mean 1st 2nd 3rd column not by names or what you try to achieve.

    Hi,

     

    I have SP List whose column order is like TItle, Data1, Data2, and Excel table which has order like Title, Data1, Data2.

     

    I want to validate this order then only it should proceed with other actions like data insert/update/delete in SP List.

     

    Thanks.

    Hi, I have SP List whose column order is like TItle, Data1, Data2, and Excel table which has order like Title, Data1, Data2.

     

    I want to validate this order (Comparison of SP List Column Order and Excel Data Header Order)  then only it should proceed with other actions like data insert/update/delete in SP List.

     

    Thanks.

    What do you mean to validate? You have to describe the condition or whatever. Step by step. I need to know the details. 

     

     

    For example:

    1. I want to match title columns at files

    2. Check the data: if column A,C,F are not the same:

    2.a add to new sp list

    2.b delete the record

     

    or whatever is the description. Please describe this like that.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    I have a SharePoint list that has columns Title, Data1, Data2, and Excel File which has column header as Title, Data1, Data2.

     

    I want to match the order of the SP List Column and Excel Header Column. If orders match successfully, I will proceed with importing the excel data to SP List.

     

    Example,

    1. SP List Order - Title, Data1, Data2

        Excel Column Header Order - Title, Data1, Data2

        Outcome/Result - Validation Successful

     

    2. SP List Order - Title, Data2, Data1

        Excel Column Header Order - Title, Data1, Data2

        Outcome/Result - Validation Failed

     

    3. SP List Order - Data2, Data1, Title

        Excel Column Header Order - Data1, Title, Data2

        Outcome/Result - Validation Failed

     

    Please let me know if any other details required.

     

    Thanks.
