Hi,

I'm interested in using Alteryx Designer to solve in extracting "specific text" and generate into a new column

as I'm very new here, I would like to ask for any suggestion, utilizing alteryx tools to accomplish this task. Here is the example of my text data:

 

Raw Text

(Before Extracted)

Manufacturer

(After Extracted)

Manucfacturer

(Replace Duplicates)

Hi @Bordin_Wanichodom 

 

The first column could be solved with a REGEX.

The second column might need some Fuzzy Match. I recommend you to take a look at this article to know how to use it.

 

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Tool-Mastery-Fuzzy-Match/ta-p/45485

 

Fuzzy Match requires a few attempts to make it work, it's even considered an art by some people.

 

WF with Regex attached.
