How do I do one fuzzy and one exact match in a dataframe?
问题 I want to be able to fuzzy match one column and exact match another column. Say I df1 looks like this: And df2 looks like this: I want to fuzzy match the "Name" but exact match the "Year." So "Ashley" and "Ashlee" would be a match. This is what I have so far: res <- fuzzy_left_join( df, df2, by=c("Year","Name"), list(`==`, function(x,y) stringdist(tolower(x), tolower(y), method="lv") <= 3) ) res %>% select(Year = Year.x, everything(), - Year.y) It appears to be over-matching, though. Not sure
