Hi folks,
I have an Excel file on which I want to run some analysis (sum if, count if, etc.). However the problem is my data set is inconsistent with abbreviations, spelling mistakes, etc. So for example (Germany, Deutschland, GER, germany, gerany,...)
How can I align and harmonize this?
Thanks
Almost impossible to say without seeing what you are working with.
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

I have trouble uploading for some reason but here an example:
Value Targeted outcome
Germany => Germany
germany => Germany
GER => Germany
DE => Germany
gerany => Germany
Welcome to the forum.
You need to prepare a SMALL sample dataset.
There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.
A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
