Fuzzy Match Employee Name to Manager Name

[Matt_Kremsky]

Hi folks,

I seek advise on how to make the fuzzy match tool work in the following scenario...

My data has, [Employee ID], [Employee Display Name], [Manager ID], and [Manager Display Name].

I'd like to run the tool to check the display names of both employees and managers and tell me those who are similar enough. I am having problems trying to get this to work bc the data used for the comparison is stored across the two columns.

Thanks!

First then, you'll have to use two Select tools to create two streams, use a Formula tool after each to create an "Employee" vs "Manager" label, then Union together making sure that the columns align!
