Hello,

I trying to figure out the best way to group data according to a few fields available. In a nut shell, I have many different facility names in my data, however, because of humans entering different versions of the facility name, it's becoming impossible to pivot out correctly. i.e. Hunters Cabin, Hunter's Cabin, Bunter's Cabin, etc. There are slight inconsistencies with the names in my column 1. They are all the supposed to be the same facility name though. I do have city, state, zip, fax, and telephone number though, so it's my thought that with this data, I can narrow down my list. I am trying to project how many units each facility has produced for all of 2018. My list is much longer than presented in the image, and I made up the facility names for the hypothetical situation. So bottom line, how do I narrow this list down so the facility names are grouped according to address, city, state, etc.? I want to pivot the end result out.

Thank you!
James

Excel Facts

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
If you have consistent phone#'s you could use them as your sort group.
If not you could make a matchkey concept.
- Concatenate to a helper column zip & a portion of the street address (to avoid 'St.', 'Street', etc. - with 5 character zip you don't need city/state)
- Use the matchkey as your sort group.
