    Hi Scott,
    Nice video! Thanks a lot.
    But let me tell you three things to make your Excel life easy:
    1. Do NOT select all data but click in the data area, anywhere and press . Done!
    2. To adjust column widths, do NOT drag the columns one by one.
    Click the triangle left of A and over 1 and double click any of the column separators. Done!
    3. To get rid of non-matching rows: select the first and press . Delete and done!
    By the way: I have used Fuzzy Lookup before and indeed: it can be very useful. So thanks again for this clip.

    What if I only have 1 table of data, but I think I have duplicate entries (maybe not identically formatted). How can I find dupes within one table?

    Fuzzy lookup is cool, but what I REALLY want is to just use it as a FUNCTION, instead of creating an entirely new table. Is there a function that can do that without me having to pay for a license? Thanks in advance!

    Looks like this software doesnt check spelling errors if lengths of words don't match. So for example your cel A11 says "Avaya". If this was spelled "Avayaa" in your 2nd tab, it wouldn't find it (0% match). Or is there somekind of work-around for this?

    Want to update one thing. For large names in large datasets, Ricoh Private Limited and Ricoh Pvt. Ltd. will match at around 0.78.
    Can you let me know how to check for duplicates using the same?

    I'm using Fuzzy Lookup to match full names and e-mails. I'm wondering if it's better to concatenate First and Last or leave them in their separate fields.

    • @ScottFerrebee
      @ScottFerrebee  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I typically don't concatenate just to account for variations in first name - i.e. Rob/Robert, Mike/Michael - so I match on Last Name then review the first names.
