Please Help - Fuzzy Logic to create match score and rejoin to original data set

Akdashboard

Hello wonderful community.

 

I am trying to use Fuzzy Logic to create the match score for 2 columns in my data set (Field 1 and Field 2 below) and then attach the match score to the original data set. I thought I could do this with a join or a replace, but I am ending up with far fewer records than I am expecting (1115 to 14, for example). In Theory, all records should join with a score, I think.

DEF1FED---
GHI78G---
JKLJK1---
123984---
456652---
789789---

 

I would think the process would simply be to use the select to get Field 1 and Field 2, use union to stack on top of each other to get the format ready for Fuzzy Logic, run fuzzy logic, join back to original data set.

Hi @Akdashboard 

 

Use find and replace tool to do vlookup instead this doesn't filter rows.
