Fuzzy Match Names & Addresses

Hi all,

 

1.) I am trying to match a new dataset to an existing (master) dataset. I want to fuzzy match on name and address. Ideally, I want a side by side comparison of what I currently have in existing (master) and what is being compared in a new dataset.

 

2.) Bonus, I also want to match on other fields as well such as email, number, url etc. just to ensure that the fuzzy match is truly matching duplicates.

 

I've attached the new dataset, master dataset, and possible output file. Any input is appreciated!
