Hi, 

I have a situation, have 2 dataset which need to be best matched. 1st data set contain name of the hotels and the 2nd dataset contain the brand. I need to match the correct brand to each hotel. How should i solve this? Tried appending the field but not working, Fuzzy match is giving wrong results, dataset is big.

eg: 

Hotel Name

Hyatt Ahmedabad
Hyatt Regency Ahmedabad

Holiday Inn Washington

Holiday Inn Express Newyork

 

Brand Name

Holiday Inn

Holiday Inn Express

Hyatt Regency

Hyatt

@Data_enthusiast have you tried find and replace the tool?

Hello, Thanks for your reply, this has partially worked but not working fully as the strings are compared with the exact keyword but if there is a slight change in the keyword, no results coming. Say if the hotel name starts with Radisson Blu xyz and the brand name in the list is Radisson Blu/Red, no results obtained. I have many instances of such cases where keyword is differing. A solution to this will be highly appreciated.

@Data_enthusiast something you can do with the Fuzzy match but it is not giving me all the match, but you can play around
