Excel FuzzyLookup: Similarity Check works fine, but wrong values in cells of other columns

31 Views Asked by At

I am using the Excel FuzzyLookup Add-In. I have two tables with each 30 columns and >100.000 rows. I conduct the similarity check only for one column of each table. This works fine. However, through the similarity check, I am adding the other columns automatically (which is intended and needed). I find that the entries of the cells in each column do not always match.

For instance: Table 1

Name Price Share (%)
Peter 3 5
Mariah 1 3.5
Sarah 2 10

Table 2

Entity Portfolio Industry
Peter 3000 Chemical
Maria 1000 Auto
Sarah 2000 Clothes

Similarity Check

Name Portfolio Industry Price Share (%) Entity
Peter 3000 Chemical 3 9999999 Peter
Maria 1000 Auto 1 3.5 Mariah

Here I have shown that the Share for Peter is now depicted as 9999999.

(Please note this is a very simplified example.)

Help is kindly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Maria
