    Harmonisation of customer names

    Hi there,

    I have a list of +3,000 customers in which there are duplicates. Duplicates not in a sense they have exactly the same name but sometimes there will be a double space or sometimes there is a typo in the name or sometimes you have "SAS" at the end of the name.

    I am looking to harmonize this list so that one customer has only one name and not multiple others with typos/double space/"SAS"/etc...

    Do you have an idea on how I can do that?
    Thanks a lot
