I've tried a few different tactics to compare two enormous lists of names, but I cannot get it to work to my satisfaction. I am attempting to get them to follow approximately the same formats, but because they are from unique sources they have very different information leaving me with no choice but to actually compare by name, rather than customer number or something useful like that. Given the variable nature of names (in this case company/corporation names) I've had a difficult time getting the lists to match in a way that provides meaningful results, but one of my lists is 9,000 strong so I need to figure out a way to automate this task. If anyone has any useful suggestions I would really appreciate it.
