Fuzzy match on google sheets

问题

I'm trying to fuzzy match two columns in google sheets, i've tried numerous formulas but I think it's going to come down to a script to help out.

I have a column with product ID's e.g.

E20067

and then I have another sheet with another column which has image url's relating to this product code such as

http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/web_images/E20067.jpg
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/high_res/E20067.jpg
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/high_res/E20067-2.jpg

What I'm wanting to do is "fuzzy" match both of these columns for their product ID, and then create a new column for each match. So it would have the product ID then on the same row in multiple columns each product image URL - like the image below:

Is there a way to do this in google sheets using a script or a formula?

回答1:

Old thread but, in case you find yourself here, search for my Google Sheets add-on called Flookup. It should do exactly what you want.

For this case, you can use this function:

Flookup (lookupValue, tableArray, lookupCol, indexNum, threshold, [rank])

The parameter details are:

lookupValue: the value you're looking up
tableArray: the table you want to search
lookupCol: the column you want to search
indexNum: the column you want data to be returned from
threshold: the percentage similarity below which data shouldn't be returned
rank: the nth best match (i.e. if the first one isn't to your liking)

*You can find out more at the official website (examples and such).

Please note that, whereas the OP appears to want the whole list of possible matches, Flookup will only return one result at a time.

In Google sheets there are a few powerful 'regex' formulas.

Suppose, you have ID list in column A, and URL list in column B

Then use formula:

=REGEXEXTRACT(B1,JOIN("|",$A$1:$A$3))

It will match one of ID's. Drag the formula down to see the result as in picture above.

Try the following. I am assuming the product codes are in Sheet1 and the URLs are in Sheet2. Both in column A:

=iferror(transpose(FILTER(Sheet2!$A$2:$A,Search("*"& A2 &"*",Sheet2!$A$2:$A))))

Copy down.

If you want to show the image instead of the url try:

=arrayformula(image(iferror(transpose(FILTER(Sheet2!$A$2:$A,Search("*"& A2 &"*",Sheet2!$A$2:$A))))))
