Hello! I am new to Alteryx.

I have address columns in this excel file. I wan to combine these columns and make it one combined address column. After that I want to run a fuzzy match to check for any duplicate address existing. Would be great if anyone can help me with this. Thanks! Attaching my file.

Just use the formula tool to concatenate and then use data cleansing tool to remove any extra spaces>

Also refer to the sample attached to the fuzzy match tool.
you will get an idea

else i will share the workflow once i get back to my device.
please let us know if you were able to solve.

Thanks, Raj! I used concatenate and could combine the addresses. Where I am stuck is when I try to run fuzzy match between the rows. I want to get the rows which fuzzy match one after the other but I am not getting the desired result.

I'm not exactly sure what output you're looking for. I chose to output unique list of "duplicated" addresses based on 80% threshold fuzzy match, but you can change as needed to obtain desired result.

Here is an updated workflow that sorts, based on your reply to Raj.
