    Merge, Consolidation, and Grouping Question

    What formula would be best to use when trying to automatically group/count data for similarly spelled names. I have small dataset that lists business name and units sold. I'd like to be able to apply a formula that would automatically group the data for similarly spelled business names into one name. I.e the sales totals for Johns Chevy and John's Chevy would report under John's Chevy. Is there any way to do this without having to do it manually?

    Unmerged Merged
    Business Name Cars Sold Business Name Cars Sold
    Henry Ford 8 Henry Ford 19
    Henry Ford 9 John's Chevy 10
    Henry Ford 2 Peters Auto 22
    Johns Chevy 3
    John's Chevy 7
    Peters Auto 4
    Peters Auto 5
    Peters Auto 7
    Peters Auto Inc 6
