Fuzzy Matching - numbers spelt vs digits

[Data_Dave]

Hello Alteryx Community! I do hope someone can shed some light on the Fuzzy Matching options.

I'm looking find the best set of options to help with the situation of identifying when a number is in text form using letters vs. digits e.g. "TEN" vs. "10".

Would the Soundex w/Digits on the Generate Keys and "Words & Digits: Jaro Distance" on Match function.

I would really appreciate the community's thoughts!

Cheers

Dave

@Data_Dave 
Do you have a sample input and output?

[Data_Dave]

Hi Qiu - thanks for joining in. I don't have a sample set as yet - this will be pulled from another system with many many company names in various formats. The idea is that looking through two lists where person 1 might have noted down a company name using letters to spell out a number, and person 2 might have used digits.

But have some random examples:

1 and 1 --> one and one

Big 2 Toyota could be Big Two Toyota

Big 5 Sporting Goods could be Big Five Sporting Goods

21st Century Fox could be Twenty First Century Fox

Century 21 could be Century Twenty One

Forever 21 could be Forever Twenty One

concrete5 --> concrete five

four peaks brewery --> 4peaks brewery

Brothers Four Car Wash --> Brothers 4 Car Wash

Five Guys Burgers --> 5 guys burgers

The Ten Network --> 10 network/network 10

Does this help?

Thanks again, Dave

I wish I did not follow up 😁
I dont have a clue how to do this with Fuzzy Match, and I gave a few tries with it, did not get any luck.
The last I can think of is to have a matching table, quite brutal though.
1 --> one

2--> two

something like that.
sorry...
