Recursing fuzzy match

Hi all, 

 

I want to do a recursing fuzzy match within the same table.

 

Ex: 

Subscriber Number                   Name

1                                                Smith

4                                                Smiths

12                                              Shmiths

 

And end up with the following table

 

Smith                    Smiths                 1                      4

Smith                    Shmiths               1                    12

Smiths                  Shmiths               4                     12

 

I was trying with duplicating a table, trying fuzzy merge into a table but right now I am out of ideas. 

 

Maybe fuzzy matching is not the issue. 

 

Any help will be appreciated. 

 

Thanks

 

Francois

    Hi Anonymous ,

    You can use dax to achieve 'start with', 'end with', contains match, but it is impossible to use dax formula to achieve similarity fuzzy match.
