Hi @martinding,
I selected some other match style and the error is resolved
but I am not sure how it will exactly work towards my purpose
I want to match Healthcare Pharma/drug brandnames with the raw data from my benchmarks file

[SvandanS25]

The error got resolved but it has given such junk outputs 
could you please help me here?
It is kinda urgent from my end
TIA!

Hi @SvandanS25,

The Custom Style gives you a lot of flexibility in fine-tuning your matching.

With Fuzzy Matching, there's no "best style" and a lot of the time, it is done through trial and error of different settings.

My suggestion is to try multiple different settings, and compare which one works best for your use case.

@SvandanS25 

It looks like you are trying to match ids? Are they just numbers? Because Fuzzy Matching works best for matching similar strings.

If you are trying to match exact numbers, you might want to try a different approach.

Would you please provide a sample workflow, and your expected result? So we can help you.

Selecting custom solution gave me the error in the first place

And it says this:

I had the same issue - you need to edit the existing match type, and change the type from the edit panel. Then you can discard changes to the previous type, and save the new Custom match style.
