"Filter Examples within Loop Values"

bjenkins

I am trying to process a spreadsheet in batches defined by rows having the same ID value.
My test spreadsheet contains 5 rows and 2 columns of the form :
ID    Text
1      First row for id 1
2      First row for id 2
1      Second row for id 1
2      Second row for id 2
3      First row for id 3
My objective is to use Loop Values to iterate through this data set once for each unique value of ID and only return the result set of rows for that ID.
When I use Loop Values operator and connect to Data to Document operator, I get the text for all 5 rows for each iteration of ID.
When I connect Loop Values to Filter Examples and apply the attribute value filter, I get the text for the rows that match the specified value for each iteration of ID.
What i want is to be able to do is match attribute value with the loop_value, but I don't know how to specify the condition.
Desired result using example above is to generate 3 output objects :
Loop value 1 should contain text from rows 1 and 3
Loop value 2 should contain text from rows 2 and 4
Lopp value 3 should contain text from row 5
My code is shown below:

Hi, just change your condition in Filter Examples to

ID=%{loop_value}

.

Best, Marius
