I have a dataset with about 8 million rows with both customer names and order numbers contaminated.
I can clean it manually by searching for the customer name and getting the correct order number(Aaaa). Then I filter rows that contain text Aaaa. Replace empty cells with Jack, can anyone help me automate the process?
Order num | Customer name | Order Date |
Aaaa | Jack | 2021/1/1 |
BBBB | Jack | 2021/1/2 |
BBBB/178451= | #### #### | 2021/1/3 |
Aaaa_46464646 | ????? | 2021/1/4 |
Order num | Customer name | Order Date |
Aaa | Jack | 2021/1/1 |
BBBB | Jack | 2021/1/2 |
Aaa | Jack | 2021/1/3 |
BBBB | Jack | 2021/1/4 |
