Fuzzy Lookup Similar to Excel

Hi,

 

I have some data from the internet which isnt't very clean and I would usually do a Fuzzy lookup in Excel to determine any close matches.

 

I have included some Sample data whereby I am trying to get the closest match between Column J of the Example Lookup Data and Column D of the Internet Data. The sample Data is only for a couple of Vehicle Models but this would need to dynamic for other brands/models. I would like to then be able to add the Vehicle ID to the Internet data example file.

 

Is there any way I can replicate this in Alteryx? 

 

Thank You

Try using the Fuzzy Match capability! This is sometimes more of an art than a science, but you can test out different configurations and match thresholds.
