INPUT OUTPUT
Serial Number Product Name Status Product CODE
1 P1 Active P101
2 P2 Inactive P202
3 P2 Active P200
4 P1 Inactive P108
5 P1 Active P105
8 P1 Active P202
9 P2 Inactive P101
11   Active P303
12   Inactive P300
To consider only the rows that have Product Name as P1 and Status as Active, then create the source filter this way. - Product Name Equals P1 - Status Equals Active The results for these source filters are rows with Serial Number 1, 5, and 8. The decision table performs the lookup during actual run time for only these records from the source objects.
