Products that do what Google Sheets add-on to compare text, fuzzy-match, highlight duplicates does
I created an add-on for Google Sheets called Flookup, and it comes both as a free version and a VERY AFFORDABLE paid version. At its core, Flookup is a fuzzy matching add-on that helps you manage text that is less than a 100% match. Beyond that it can be used to: 1. Search for and match data regardless of whether it contains typos. 2. Highlight and delete duplicates duplicates even if the data has mismatched text. 3. Calculate the percentage similarity between strings. 4. Extract unique values from any column based on percentage similarity. 5. Sum and find the average of numbers based on…

Hello HN! It has been about three years since I launched this current iteration of my Google Sheets add-on called Flookup. I'm a solo developer and, currently, I handle absolutely everything to do with Flookup from writing code, replying support emails and even marketing. It is a lot of work but very satisfying because I get to see, first hand, how helpful it has been to my userbase. Before Flookup was launched, there was only one prominent Google Sheets add-on that could be used for data cleaning (to a certain degree) but, luckily for me, that add-on had left a gap in functionality that I…

Hello HN. I built Flookup Data Wrangler, a powerful Google Sheets add-on for data cleaning without writing single line of code. Traditional Soundex is designed for single words like "John" and "Jonny", making data cleaning comparisons between such strings straightforward. However, typical Soundex outputs cannot be used to handle multi-word or reordered string comparisons like "John Doe" vs "Doe Jonny", as this would produce inaccurate results. To address this, I modified the Soundex algorithm to support multi-word and reordered strings by adding a helper function that re-encodes the output…
