Fuzzy Match for new entries using old/master table

tshrprk
5 - Atom

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a fuzzy match logic but completely clueless about it and the results are very bad.

 

I have a master table with 48 'Business Titles' and corresponding 'Cleansed Roles' against it. Suppose, I get 4 new Business Titles which are similar to any of the 48 business titles but are not an exact match so I cannot do a lookup, but I want fuzzy match to provide me with the closest match. Below is the master list and new list

@tshrprk check out this workflow for an example. I added some comments to hopefully help explain why I added the tools I did and configured them in the way I did.fuzzy match workflow screenshot.jpg
