I have two lists of property names. Sometimes a name in List A has extra characters; sometimes List B has the extra characters. I want to pull associated data from a column in the tab with List A and add it to the tab with List B, by property name.
A few examples are:
| List A | List B |
|---|---|
| AMLI Riverside | AMLI on Riverside |
| Adam Hats Downtown Lofts | Adam Hats Lofts |
| Atlantic at Kessler Park | Atlantic at Kessler Park, The |
My current thought for a solution is to split by word in List A and add wildcard operators inside Query with the Like operator in the Where clause. I think I would need to do so before, after, between each substring. I haven't tested it yet, but something like this:
=query(A2:A,"Select _ where _ like '%AMLI%Riverside%'")
And then would need to also build in the string splitting, presumably with SPLIT around " ".
Before I go down this rabbit hole - am I missing a better solution? There are ~650 properties in List A and ~2000 properties in List B, so would prefer not to check manually.
