Need some assistance with Fuzzy Lookup

  • Can anyone out there give some advice with using the Fuzzy Lookup transform.

    I have these columns in my data source into the Fuzzy Lookup:

    Postcode1

    Street1

    Name1

    Postcode2

    Street2

    Name2

    I want the Fuzzy Lookup to produce the output columns _Similarity and _Confidence. So far, I have done this.

    But I need the postcodes to match exactly, and then have the _Similarity and _Confidence fields give figures for how well a match the Street and Name fields are.

    For example, I would like an output like this:

    Postcode1 Street1 Name1 Postcode2 Street2 Name2 _Similarity

    PCODE1 ABC Dr Org1 PCODE1 ABC Drive Org 1 0.95

    PCODE2 ABC Dr Org 2 PCODE2 ABC Dr Org 2 1.00

    Any suggestions would be welcome.

  • Inside the Fuzzy Lookup transform, on the Columns tab, right click one of the links between the fields and select "Edit Mappings". There you can set a minimum similarity for a specific field.

    Is that what you are looking for?

  • Yes, precisely what I was after!

    Many thanks!
