How to list down a record where the data is found in one table but not in another table

Dear gurus

There are so many similar posts in here but try to understand it may takes some time. Hence i decide to post it here using my table.

I have 2 tables - Staff and Form_Submission. Both table contains column 'Name' and 'UserIds'

In the load editor how am i suppose to write the script so that i want to know which staff in table Staff has never submit a form. I saw lots of example using Not Exist. Just hope that someone can help me by using my scenario here . TQ !

exists() refers always against the already loaded field-values. Therefore the order of the load-statements as well as the cardinality of the field-values will have an impact. Just being aware of this makes it possible to develop in nearly each scenario an appropriate logic.

Simpler is often to resolve such tasks with a mapping-approach - in your case it might be:

t1: load * from Staff;
m: mapping load distinct UserId, 1 resident t1;
t2: load *, applymap('m', UserId, 0) as Flag from Submission;
