Hi folks,

I have some problem regarding exists() function. I've country details in an excel file. And I've csv file that also contains country details.

I've loaded country details from excel file to qvw and I wanted to load country details from csv file that don't exist in excel file, but it is giving one wrong value.

I tried my best to figure out the issue but in vain. Can you guys help me out.

I've attached the excel file, csv file and a sample qvw for that. Kindly help me.

FYI..the issue is with Denmark country.

Thanks,

Surendra

In country_db.name, Denmark has a length of 13 instead of 7, so I think you need to use

trim(country_db.name) as country_db.name

when reading in, to eliminate the spaces in field value.
