Text explorerI'm trying to group similar Account names together in my data set. For example '123 Co' and '123 LLC' are technically the same company and therefore need to be grouped together.
I've used the recode feature in the past but it hasn't been successful due to 'John Smith' 'Mary Smith' and 'Bob Smith' all getting grouped together when they shouldn't be. I was wondering if there was a way to do this in Text Explorer?Re: Text explorerokay I will try that. thank you!
Re: Text explorerYou can control click select the items in the Recode New Values column list and then group them.
Re: Text explorerYes, that is a great idea for the instances of "123 Co" vs "123 LLC". However, what happens when I have something like "1st Choice Bank Services" vs "First Choice Bank". Is there another setting in Recode I could use that would still group those company names together?
Re: Text explorerDid you try using the "All But Last Word" option from the Recode hot spot dropdown? Or am I not understanding your question or desired outcome correctly?
