    Numbers are easy. Names are hard. For example, I have no idea what rule you would apply to convert jesoth to JEOSPH. If you have >1K rows then there are going to be errors. For example, if you have RAJ in column A, and in M have RAJWARDAN and CHARANRAJ, which one matches? What about SRI and you have SRIRAM, SRIKANTH, and SRINIVAS?

    Whatever you need can be done, but you have to have a very specific definition of how to determine a match. This example does show what you are trying to do but isn't a specific definition.

    I don't know if this will help you out at all, but there is a thing called SOUNDEX. You can look it up several places on line. The Soundex code converts names into a 4-digit number like 2158. Other names with 2158 would all sound a lot alike. Names that match the first three digits would sound similar but not quite alike, etc.

    So soundex could possibly give you groups of names to see if any are matches.

    On the other hand, soundex might have been devised on English phonics. The names in your example appear to be Arabic. I don't know how well soundex might do with those.
