Hi

Greatly appreciate your help, would like to know if there is any way i could filter out a value based from another column

I need to filter out anything that column 2 gives to column1 
sample:

column1 column2

grapes
grapes
   


expected output
The grape should be removed from column1

As with much of SPL, there is more than one way to do that.  The method to use depends on how the current output was produced.  Please share the query.
