Fuzzy Lookup Add-In for Excel 1.3

Fuzzy Lookup Add-In for Excel by Microsoft

Fuzzy Lookup Add-In for Excel helps you match and merge data that is similar but not exactly the same. Built by Microsoft, it uses similarity scoring to find likely matches across tables, even when entries contain typos, abbreviations, or inconsistent formatting. The add-in works directly within Excel, so you can join lists, clean data, and de-duplicate records without writing formulas or code.

Key features:

• Fuzzy matching and joining: Compare two tables and return the best approximate matches with a similarity score.
• Fuzzy grouping (de-duplication): Identify clusters of similar rows within a single table to consolidate duplicates.
• Configurable precision: Set similarity thresholds and limit the number of matches per record to control results.
• Transformation support: Apply custom mappings (such as abbreviations or common variants) to improve match quality.
• Excel-native workflow: Select tables and columns from your workbook and output results as structured Excel tables.

Common uses:

• Merging customer, vendor, or product lists from different sources
• Matching names, addresses, or SKUs with inconsistent entry formats
• Cleaning and standardizing data prior to analysis or reporting

Benefits:

• Increases match rates beyond exact lookups
• Saves time on manual review and reconciliation
• Improves data quality with transparent, auditable results through similarity scores

Note: Fuzzy matching produces probabilistic results; review high-impact matches and adjust thresholds or transformations as needed.
