Hi @MZ900605 

 

I think you'll need to explore the Fuzzy Match tool inside Alteryx to match the records together.

 

This is a great place to start: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Tool-Mastery-Fuzzy-Match/ta-p/45485

 

Let me know how you get on 😀

 

 

Edit: thought I'd quickly build a starter flow for you.
