Quick help with fuzzy matching %

Isha_Gupta

Hey, 

 

I have a simple case with 5 columns.

 

Column A has unique IDs.

 

Column C and Column E contain names of companies from 2 different sources.

 

I need a matching % in Column F between Column C and Column E.

 

Thanks

Using it but where to select those 2 columns

 

When adding in the field name,  11k rows are getting converted to 48K or something

The Fuzzy Match tool may be creating a separate record for each word, depends on the configuration.  Difficult to determine without a sample workflow.
