Fuzzy match rows in one column
Hi,
I have attached some example data and the expected outcome (second worksheet).
I want to compare the string values in one column to see whether there’s similarities among them. Please note my original file has thousands of lines and a multitude or descriptions that I’m not really aware of.
My goal is a first attempt to categorize/group similar lines together for me to further analyze the content of the file.
What would be the best way for handle this?
I already tried the STRING MATCHER and SIMILARITY RESEARCH whereby the source and comparing column are identical. But what happens is that it’s only picking up the exact same values. I want to check on similar things and not exact matches.
