Fuzzy Match Names

nmotiani
7 - Meteor

I am trying to match org names to another list of org names.

 

Since the names from both datasets don't exactly match, which is why I cant use the join tool. How do I figure out the close matches? Can someone help me build a short workflow?

 

example:

 

Data Set 1

 

OrganizationID
Apple1
Orange2
Banana3
Kiwi4

 

Data Set 2

OrganizationID
Apple AssociationA
Orange CompanyB
Banana and brothersC
Kiwi and Co.D

This added context helps - I agree a Find Replace is better in this situation.
