Hi Team am having a bit of trouble using Fuzzy matching, The first table is Master source contain clean data and way more records than i need.

The second table contain the names but some of them are written with mistakes, I need to match them and add the Lcodes to the second table but only the rows that is in user table. I tried ended up filling user table with all Master records. Any help guys?

Hi @MZ900605 

 

Seems like there are duplicate names in both data source. You need to make names unique in atleast one of the data source to prevent many to many joining.

@atcodedog05  Most of the group fields are null

Hi @MZ900605 

 

Can you reduce the Fuzzy match accuracy to 80%. The Null are the ones which didnt get matched.

@atcodedog05  yeah this works many thanks but am wondering can I have 2 outputs the one that matched Master and the "user" records that did not match?

Hi @MZ900605 

 

You will be able to get that data in L and R anchor.
