Fuzzy Matching for Text Strings in Spotfire

Fuzzy Matching is a way to find strings that are similar to each other, but not exact. It can be useful to align strings with abbreviations or typos to those without. It can be used to clean your data or to join disparate datasets with similar but different string columns. This video was recorded with Spotfire 12.1. The features are available in Spotfire 10.5 and above.
