Hi ,

Just check with the below :

Step1. Intially read the values from local sheet...(Local_val=datatable("colname",dtLocalSheet)

step2. Read the values from runtime datatable ..(runtime_val=datatable("colname",dtGlobalSheet)
(note:here runtime datatable is nothing but a trial/duplicate copy of globalsheet)

step3. Validate the step1 & step2 and then display the results

Code:

if (trim(Local_val)=trim(runtime_val)) then
    msgbox "Validation success"
    reporter.reportevent 0,"values comparison","validation is passed"
else
    msgbox "validation unsuccessfull"
        reporter.reportevent 1,"values comparison","validation is failed"
end if
