I have been scouring the internet for help on text matching customer name, and this video saved me. I don't have it finished yet, but it already helped me audit a gap in our process. Thank you!

Good content. Just to add, I am using fuzzy lookup add-on and a similarity column it produces helps a lot. Usually I apply conditional formatting on the column so I can visually see by color their similarities. I can also order them so those that are >0.9 similar would be manually checked later. I think the point of fuzzy match is just to help us form a mapping table

Great video, thanks for creating this, very helpful.
How would you add in a column that shows the percentage match value? Is that possible?

You can add a fuzzy look up add on in excel.

4:06 That tick box "use fuzzy matching.." seems to be missing on some excel builds. Anyone found a solution?

Thank you I've been looking forever for this. I only wished you spoke a little faster during the informational parts and slower during the actual steps. Much too fast the pace.

Any chance excel’s given us access to this similarity score function so I can use it in a cell to calculate the score?

Your example is too complicated and your video is too long to illustrate fuzzy match.
