Hello,
In sheet1, in column A I have a unique list of names (of variable length)
I run a similarity algorithm on this column and get in column B the closest non-identical match to the name in column A for each row
Because the Fuzzy match was on a list to itself each match has a corresponding match in column A
e.g.
If the spellings differences are very small the match and its corresponding match are in adjacent rows as above
But if the names have a greater degree of difference then they are separated by multiple rows
e.g.
I need in Sheet2 the rows such that all pairings are adjacent
e.g.
And I need the entire Row moved as there is a variable number of columns with data after column B
Thank you in advance for help on this, I have got nowhere with this myself
