Comparison between two sheets using a condition

Hi everyone,

I want to compare two sheets (with similar structure) in Qlik, using the values of a column as starting condition to make the comparison. This is an example to make myself clear:

Sheet 1

Id         Color        Size        Status

A1        Red           L              Good

B3        Red           M             Bad

F2        Green       S              Good

 

Sheet 2

Id         Color        Size        Status

D7        Green        L             Good

F2        Red            M               Bad

A1        Green        S             Good

 

Now, I want to make a comparison for every column (checking if the values are the same), using Id column as precondition: if an Id of Sheet 1 is equal to an Id of Sheet 2, compare each value of the same row matching with that Id.

In this particular case, there is Id A1 in both sheets, so we can compare the other columns, with these results:

- Color -> False (Sheet1:  Red, Sheet2: Green)

- Size -> False (Sheet1:  L, Sheet2: S)

- Status -> True (Sheet1:  Good, Sheet2: Good)

Instead, for Id B3 the comparison will immediately return false because there is no Id B3 in Sheet 2.

 

I implemented this comparison in Excel using this formula:

 =IFERROR(--EXACT(VLOOKUP($A2;'Sheet2'!$A$2:$D$4;COLUMN(A1)+1;0);B2);"false")

 

How can I implement this comparison in Qlik?

Load Id, Color, Size, Status From Sheet1;

JOIN

Load Id, Color as Color2, Size as Size2, Status as Status2 From Sheet2;

You can then just compare Color to Color2, etc.
