Data Manipulation - Compare Datasets

Overview

Compare two CSV files and return files that show the rows with differing and overlapping information. It is expected that the two files provided will:

• Provide columns in the first row of the CSV file.
• Have the same number of columns
• Have the same column names

After comparing data in the two files, the following files may be generated:

• {File Name 1}_only.csv (contains only rows found in File Name 1)
• {File Name 2}_only.csv (contains only rows found in File Name 2)
• {File Name 1}_overlap.csv (contains rows found in both File Name 1 AND File Name 2)

If there is no unique data, a file with the _only will not be created. If there is no overlapping data, the _overlap file will not be created.

This Blueprint is relatively memory intensive because it loads both file contents into memory using Pandas. For larger file sizes, we recommend running a comparison directly in a database.

Variables

Name	Reference	Type	Required	Default	Options	Description
File Name 1	MANIPULATION_SOURCE_FILE_NAME_1	Alphanumeric	✅	-	-	Name of the target file on Platform.
Folder Name 1	MANIPULATION_SOURCE_FOLDER_NAME_1	Alphanumeric	➖	-	-	Name of the local folder on Platform where the target file lives. If left blank, will look in the home directory.
File Name 2	MANIPULATION_SOURCE_FILE_NAME_2	Alphanumeric	✅	-	-	Name of the 2nd target file on Platform.
Folder Name 2	MANIPULATION_SOURCE_FOLDER_NAME_2	Alphanumeric	➖	-	-	Name of the local folder on Platform where the target file lives. If left blank, will look in the home directory.
