how to bring a value from access into excel based on criteria
I have two unique challenges that I need help figuring out:
1. I have an access database of names Example: Name: Van Gogh, Vincent I have an excel sheet that has Name but may have incorrect spelling or variances. Example: Name: VanGogh, Vincent Vincent Van Gogh Van Go Vincent (etc) I would like to find a way to pull in the correct value for name and title from access into excel based on exact match, close match or keyword. 2. I would also like to do the same for name and title combination. Example- access database has Name and Title Name: Van Gogh Title: Starry Night the excel sheet might have incorrect spelling or variance of both name and title: Name: VanGogh, Vincent Vincent Van Gogh Van Go Vincent (etc) Title: Starry nite Starry night, c1889 stary night etc. I would like to find a way to pull in the correct value for name and title from access into excel based on the combination of Name and Title for an exact match, close match or keywords such as van gogh starry. I am completely stumped but know that there hsoudl be a way I can do this as access hold all of my records- about 300,000 names and titles. I get new excel sheets to correct every week and fidn the correct name and title for possible errors in spelling or variances in title name. I really appreciate your help. Tina |
