Hello guys,

I am new to the community, so please forgive me for any mistakes regarding my first post.

Now, I have a range of some store names with their respective addresses. I need to find all possible matches against every store to remove any sort of duplication due to typo or abbreviations used. I tried myself but could not find more than 1 match.

Came across a thread in the forum which is exactly what I am looking for but I am unable to completely use it. I will share it below.

Now, I am able to get result in Value1(1st possible match) but not for next matched like Value2, Value3 (next possible matches for a lookup value) etc. Need help on this as to how to replicate formula in F2 to G2, H2, I2 etc.

Any help will be highly appreciated. Please elaborate as much as possible.

Regards
Munesh Naagar
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
If you can get the first value, all you should need to do is copy the formula from F2 to G2, and so on.
