Compare text cells and give a matching percentage

[Maarten321]

Hi guys,

I have been looking for a solution but haven't been able to find any vba or function that could do the trick.
VBA would work the best for me. The excel sheet has about 120k rows.

It has to calculate productinfo on the description or url. Some descriptions might not contain all info so that's why we also have it separated.

An example:

A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H
Query	Brand	Productname	ID	Description	Url	Percentage1	Percentage2
Ztahl - Dijkos Salerno 3100 <colgroup><col width="px"355""></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>	Ztahl - Dijkos <colgroup><col width="px"110""></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>	Salerno <colgroup><col width="px"231""></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>	3100 <colgroup><col width="px"143""></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>	hanglamp-salerno-rvs-ztahl-3100 ... Ztahl 5-L Hanglamp Salerno RVS. E-mail naar een vriend. Schrijf de eerste beoordeling van dit product. € 287,00. Aantal: ... <colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>	http://www.xxxxxxxxxx.nl/hanglamp-salerno-rvs-ztahl-3100.html <colgroup><col width="87" style="width: 65pt;"></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>
Ztahl - Dijkos Salerno 3100 <colgroup><col width="px"355""></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>	Ztahl - Dijkos <colgroup><col width="px"110""></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>	Salerno <colgroup><col width="px"231""></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>	3100 <colgroup><col width="px"143""></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>	Bekijk de meubels, meubelen, bankstellen en fauteuils in de showroom en laat u verrassen door de scherpe prijzen! <colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>	https://www.yyyyyyyyy.nl/hanglamp-salerno-3100-dijkos-ztahl.html <colgroup><col width="87" style="width: 65pt;"></colgroup><tbody> </tbody>

Percentage1 = calculation of B,C,D on Description
Percentage2 = calculation of B,C,D on URL

What would give the most accurate results? Calculation separated B,C,D or only on A.


Sheetname = "Clean"
Tablename = "Clean"

Would be nice if the vba is configured on the table data instead of ranges because they can change from time to time.
The header names in this example are also the real headers of the table.

Help me how i can put this in a vba.

it is not clear what you want to do a % on - in row 1 what is it please ?

 

[Maarten321]

I'm sorry, I want to calculate the percentage per row.

The percentage1 I want to calculate is how probable is the match of text in b,c,d. On description.

Percentage2 how probable is the match of text in b,c,d. On url.

Hope this makes it a bit clearer

 

[oldbrewer]

the text matches within another cell, or it doesn't

are you looking for fuzzy matching - if so I run for the hills....

 

[Maarten321]

I think you'll have to run for the hills than.

Indeed I'm looking for approximately matches.

Ps, thanks for thinking with me ?
