    [SOLVED] Fuzzy Lookup returns matching score over 100%

    I am using Fuzzy Lookup to find similar records, I am comparing two tables (150K vs 350K). Since it's very time consuming (almost whole day) on normal mode, I decided to enable advanced features in Global Settings.
    -I set "UseApproximateIndexing=True", this method is very fast but I am getting wrong score, everything over 100% (It must be between 0-100$). I get 450%, 5005 ,700% etc. I am not sure if this is a bug or what is the problem, it's Microsoft's Fuzzy Lookup, so it a robust tool in theory. I am using Office 365

    Could you test and tell me why am I getting score over 100%? I am attaching the file and example for clarification.

    Please update your forum profile, which is out-of-date.

    I don't know why, but try changing the number of matches to 2.

    Thanks, with 2 I am getting the desired result! Probably is a Microsoft bug..although it's a solid piece of software and get's rare updates. Did you try without my file? I mean in your PC with new excel file.

    No - sorry, I don't have time to create files to test from scratch.
