Default Approximate match on string of text

I would assume that when you match Blue Circle Productions with Blue
Circle Production, you would delete one or the other entry. Is that right?

Are you merging the two lists?

I am looking for a solution to the following problem: I have a long list
of
companies in an EXCEL sheet, and would like to find, company by company,
if
there is an approximate match with a name in another long list.
Concretely, I would like to be able to match Blue Circle Productions
with
Blue Circle Production. Any idea? How would I set the degree of
tolerance?
