Fuzzy match - within the same table and add a column

h12

Hi all

 

Below is the table that I have:

 

c1_Codec1_rolec1_namer_coder_roler_Name
1A45Joe Smith1A45Joey Smith
1A45Joe Smith1A45Tony Turner
1A45Joe Smith1A45Paul Dickson
B423Bob MarleyB423Bob Marleye
B423Bob MarleyB423Tony Turner

 

I would like to perform a fuzzy match on the two name columns and then have a column added to the table with the % (the % below are random):

c1_Codec1_rolec1_namer_coder_roler_NameFuzzy %
1A45Joe Smith1A45Joey Smith99
1A45Joe Smith1A45Tony Turner60
1A45Joe Smith1A45Paul Dickson60
B423Bob MarleyB423Bob Marleye99
B423Bob MarleyB423Tony Turner60

 

The idea is that I can now filter out the rows which have less than 80% match score and identify the differences in the way the names are spelt

 

Many thanks!

@rajThank you for your prompt reply! I think the first join tool should be joining on name2 right? Also, the 'Tony Turner' row as well as Paul Dickson seems to disappear..
