Hi,
I have a file that compares the names of products in 1 collumn (products clients request) to other collumn (Database) and retrieves the code of the product. The problem is that many times the requested products are not described as the exact words as the names in my database. Vlookup is not a good option, i have tried many "variations" of that formula and it only works acceptable sometimes.
I have found a great way, using Excel Powerups Suite, i can use a function pwrvlookup and in the function i can define how much accurate i want the search to be, 90%, 80% etc... It works very good, but it´s a payed software that will work only for a limited time...
Anyone knows a free alternative? Im sure it could be replicated with a macro, but i dont really understand VBA to be changing the code all time time in order to change accuracy...
Can anyone explain me if, it would be possible to code something like that and then be used as a formula, and in the formula define the accuracy level?
I´m loving the tool, its exactlly what i was searching, but i would like a free solution at the moment.
