I am cleaning up a large address Access database for a spanish law firm. The
first and last name fields are tricky because often individuals have four or five names and often they are placed inconsistently in the first and last name fields. We are going to convert the database into an Excel file to accelarate clean-up, but we are having a tough time removing duplicates because of the naming issues. Any ideas on how to do this? Here is an example of the problem: First Last Jose Maria Ramon Luis Olivida Jose Maria Ramon Luis Jose Ramon Luis Olvida All three of these rows list the same person, but I don“t know how to fix it other than manually. Note that this is a database with 20,000+ rows. |
