Fuzzy Dictionary Mapping

Compares strings in a given column to values in a given dictionary and appends the best (fuzzy) matching dictionary entry. This can be helpful to transform random, possibly misspelled and heterogene input values to uniform output values. This is the generalized form of the "Country Code Mapping" component.

Lookup Columns

Appended Columns
Select the columns of your input dictionary whose closest matches will be appended to the input table.
Values to match
The column containing the values to which an fuzzy matched dictionary entry is to be attached.
