    Re: similar by vowels

    You need a better explanation of what is required i,e, why are the highlighted values selected: and we do not need a file with 34K records

    There are pairs which have the exactly the same letters [RADIOES/ROADIES] but AERADIO vs ? or GOATIES vs ?
    If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED.

    Re: similar by vowels

    Your reply appears to indicate that you want the letters that can used to form more than one word so is the result in C1 is RDSAIOE for you example .

    Please post a SMALL file showing exactly what you want in C1 and WHY.

    Re: similar by vowels

    There is "fuzzy logic" to compare similar words. I know that it has been implemented in Power Query to some extent, but I don't know much about it myself.

    Re: similar by vowels

    You highlighted

    ROASTIE

    Where the previous 2 words are OARIEST and OTARIES so I assume some "connection" between the 3

    These are not simple vowel interchanges as you suggest in post #6.

    Re: similar by vowels

    Given your last reply, the required outcome is much more complex than you previously indicated [multiple criteria] as you are implying there is a need to identify "new" words based on some (undefined) dictionary.
