Help!!!.. Fuzzy Matching for Chinese Characters/Names.. is there a Macro out there?
I am trying to link two databases by manually matching the record name (written in Chinese). However, it's taking way too long due to th number of records. One useless character that is missing in one of th names throws off the vlookup! Does anyone know if there is a Macro available to help do fuzz matching in a vlookup in Chinese? The difference between a traditiona vlookup would be to look at the unique combinations between two chines characters within the name and find the closest match with anothe name. (since each unique two character combination greatly increase the chances the two records match) Traditional fuzzy matching yield completely wrong results.
