Comparing two sets of data

alkafalhas

Hello

 

I'm working on with two sets of data. Example is as below:

 

Data set 1

#Name
1ANG CHEE KIANG
2ROSMALIZA BINTI MAZALAN
3ABDUL B SAID
4AMANDA LOH FOONG KIT (ABC)
5KUMAR A/L CHADRAN

 

Data set 2

#Name_2
2ROSMALIZA BINTI MAZALAN
4LOH FOONG KIT
5KUMAR CHADRAN
1ANG CHEE KIANG
3ABDUL BIN SAID (DEF)

 

I would like to determine if user 1 is the user 2. Kindly refer below for the expected results: I used join tool to solve for the first 2 scenarios. However, I'm trying to use fuzzy match tool for the rest of cases, but it did not capture all 3 users. Appreciate if someone can help me with this. Thank you

Hello @alkafalhas ,

 

How about this?

let's say in each data set contains 1 different data that couldn't match. Is there a way to see it from fuzzy match tools? or to display the unmatched data?

 

Example additional data in set 1

6) Muhammad Ali

 

Example additional data in set 2

7) Lebron James

Non-matches will come out of the L and R outputs of the join after the fuzzy match.
