Hi,

 

I have a query related to Fuzzy match where I have two columns Person and Resolver where I have multiple variations with the names and have to match so I may get the exact result as I get by using Fuzzy match in Excel:

I also require to have match scores on final output which is the only thing still missing rest is fine.

 

Thanks,

Not sure if I am making any mistake somewhere, however the result I get through Excel Fuzzy, I am not getting the same through Alteryx.

 

Attaching the data with more entries along with my workflow

Hi @rohitashsharma 

 

Sorry, I tried seems like it works differently and I couldn't get the same as excel output.

 

Maybe someone else can try. If no one responds to this post by tomorrow please post it as a new post.

 

Happy to help : )

The result consistently improved as I increased the Fuzzy Match threshold from 10% to 100%
