I have found some information on the website of MrExcel about Fuzzy Match. I am looking for a function like this.

I have got text in colomn A. I want to have this formula working that it will give me a percentage match to the highest percentuage hit in colomn C. (Any row)

For example,

Cell A1; 3M Spare HV Motor Service
Cell C450; 3Y Spare LV Motor Ser
Cell C5000; 3M HV Spare Moto Service

Which cell within the entire C colomn has the highest hit (%) with Cell A1?
I have found this information; http://www.mrexcel.com/pc07.shtml
But i can't make it work in my case. Can somebody help me??

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Gerco van den Brink
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
