This idea of fuzzy merge seems very promising. It reminds me of the xlookup function in a way. I think they are both similar in the sense of being able to shift parameters from 100% to less than 100% matches. However, i think the power query example is a bit more reliable because you could litterally dial in the confidence level you want to achieve. I like that aspect to it. I'm sure i could find a million ways to use this.

Hi Mynda and Phil. Thanks for demonstrating fuzzy matching in Power Query. Although it is an enticing feature, I find it difficult to trust it except under the most simple circumstances. Even though it is more work, I prefer a transformation table to be the primary method against any data that really matters. That said, your demo of combining fuzzy match and a transformation table is a good use case, making the transformation table shorter for only those items that PQ can't resolve. Excellent! Thanks for sharing :)) Thumbs up!!

How can a transformation table take the place of this? Assuming I understand what you mean by a transformation table: My use of them is a set of defined-by-me values that are used for transformation... but therefore I need to be explicit that a person may have entered a period instead of a space, or worse still, defined every possible combination. Does my table for "Sydney" need to say: Sydney, Sdney, Syney, Sydey, Sydny, Sydne, Dney, Dsney, etc? That isn't practical?

@@geeves21312 Hi GB. Yes, a transformation table needs to be explicit, so if you have many possible combinations, then they would all need to be in the table. How to approach it depends on the data and the use. If a mismatch would be costly or otherwise serious, then you have to take whatever steps necessary to insure it will be correct. If otherwise, then you can be more lax, such as using fuzzy match. Every circumstance is different. So, it depends on your use case. Hope this helps. Good luck!!

I'm very keen to get this working, I've wanted fuzzy matching in Excel for years and I have briefly used Power Pivot in the past. Unfortunately, whenever I load a dialog window in Power Query Editor eg 1:36 Merge Query as New, the dialog box is not large enough and it crops the outer c.50 pixels all around. I cannot see or select some of the critical icons/widgets. I've Googled this problem and found no solutions, I've tried disconnecting the external monitor and can't get it to display correctly. Is this something you have come across before?

Hi Mynda, Thanks for sharing valuable knowledge. I am looking for some help - my datasets are a bit big. One table has 3K rows and the other has 130K rows. I am trying to find fuzzy matches from the 3K table to the 130K table. I tried this with Fuzzy Lookup add-in in excel and also followed your video and tried it using power query... but both methods are taking forever... and even after 15 minutes I don't see any results. Can you please help me? The client's requirement is to do a Fuzzy match because we know there are definitely many mismatches with spelling and other typing mistakes though the products are the same.
