I have a list B of customer names (sloppy, typo's, variations, etc), and I need to identify potential matching names from a master list A. for every record in list B, I want to seach through all records in list A and have the resulting field vale for the function be a list of reference numberf of the potential matches. Something like:
B_name_column: Acme Tire
Function_column: Acne Tire ref123, Hacney Tire ref375, Smith Tire ref978, Acme Tire ref363.
The result should be a query with the same number of records as the B list, but the function result column would be a string with all the potential matches.
Any clue if this can be done with a for next loop or am I trying to figure out how to drive a nail with a screwdriver?
Thanks!
