How can I compare a list of strings, allowing positive matching b.
I'm interested in being able to compare strings, and returning a positive
match has been found (e.g. tree = trees). Just stripping of the last "s" does not work when irregular plurals are included (e.g. consider geese and goose, matches and match). I'm interested in a function similar to VLOOKUP, but with this added functionality. Is there a way of consulting a complete list of plurals, contained in a library, or something similar? The English language can be a bit of a bitch sometimes. Has anyone ever encountered anything similar?? I'm using MS EXCEL 2003 (PC), if that helps. Many thaks in advance. |
