Hi, for better understanding your answers.
Lookup filename: test33
Firstname,secondname,gender

If my event contain only the name and gd,

if index=index name [|inputlookup test33|table secondname,gender]|table name, gd correct?

i want to compare secondname in lookup table with name in the event. And gender in lookup table with gd in the event. So there might be a case whereby gd and/or name in the event is empty.
