Key field will generate one club values based on delimiter to produce the Autonumber. For Ex:

Load * Inline [

Name, Company, Sales

A, A1,

B, B1

];

And condition as follows to generate key

Name & '|' & Company as Key

Output: A|A1 and B|B1

Where as Below condition will produce

AutoNumber(Name & '|' & Company) as Key

Output: 1 and 2

You can use Key as filter for selection from entire model.
