Hi @sanjana12 ,

 

The Exclusion activity will exclude the records of the Primary set if any matching with the Secondary set.

 

So, if there are more records in the Secondary set, then also the exclusion behaviour will be having Primary records data (not in Secondary set).

 

Please refer to the Exclusion activity section in documentation of ACM

Hi @sanjana12 ,

Exclusion activity will excludes Recipients from primary set who also belongs to secondary set.

No matter the counts of both set, if you have only 5 counts in primary set and 50000 records in secondary set, and if there is only one record in common between both sets, then output result of the exclusion activity will be 4.
