Hi everyone,
I have a large dataset. One of the column named "CityName" includes values in different format e.g. "Herat", "Hirat", "Heraat"; all of them stand for "Herat".
The question: I am looking for an efficient method meeting the mentioned situation to unify them properly using Power Query techniques.

I think one method is to extract all the unique values for the column "CityName". Next make a lookup table by adding another column next to the extracted unique values including the correct value for the corresponding extracted unique value. Then either add a helper column and use EXCEL VLOOKUP, or use POWER QUERY MERGE approach overcoming the issue.
