    Comparing words in sentences by percentage

    Hi there.

    I am using google sheet currently to compare two column of with many rows of strings.
    I would like to compare such that if column A = Column B is closely match up to > 50% of the word, return true.
    For example:

    - This is a car and it is blue
    - This a car and it is blue

    This would return be true.

    Does anyone know how this could possibly be done?

    Hi,

    Don't know about Google Sheets, but if you were doing this with Excel, for a fuzzy match process like this you'd be better advised to download and Micrsofte's Excel's Fuzzy Lookup Add-In. See here...
