Fuzzy Matching is slow
I'm matching 300K addresses against a table of 80k addresses.
All columns that arent needed have been removed.
It seems slow. Is there anyway to improve performance? I've 8 gb ram on this machine.
It could be a few hours at the rate its running on this machine. Would it be much faster on the service?
Hi StephenF ,

And you may refer to this document about how to improve the performance in power query.
