    Need Function that can identify spelling mistakes in one list compared to another list

    Hi guys, newbie here.

    I am hoping to find a function/formula that can help me with identifying spelling mistake with names (scientific fish names in my case) in one column by comparing it with certified/correct names that are in a seperate column and then replacing the incorrect names with the correct names.

    Basically, looking for a more powerful version of "Find and Replace" that can crunch through large data-sets.

    As an example, I have attached a file which has 2 columns. Column A "Names for checking" being the list with mistakes in them... And Column C "Fish List" being the one with correctly spelt fish names.

    Cheers
    Alec
