Hi @sabra.tarek ,

Try something like this:

1. Join both lists, then use a List.GroupByKey node using the items also as the keys, now you have sublists with all the same items.
2. Then using a List.Count node with list level 2 count all occurances per sublist, if there is only one item in the list, you know it’s unique.
3. Then using the List.Count output with a simple if statement: x == 1; Now you have true/ false values determined if the item is unique or not.
4. At last use those bools in a List.FilterByBoolMask on your List.GroupByKey output.

List.setDifference but for some reason it does not work with the lists

Hi @sabra.tarek swap the inputs like the example of @Giuseppe_Dotto
