Data Cleaning

  • I have a table full of old archive data that I need to clean before I can use.

    The old records were referenced by an owner which was a free text field and as a result I have many choices for a single user.

    In the new system I am trying to change the user references to a single id, but am having trouble working out an approach to perform the task of matching old names used with the actual username.

    Old names

    S Madden

    Stephen Madden

    smadde

    Username ID

    ======= ==

    s madden 213

    Is this a manual task?

    Cheers...Steve

  • Looks like I may be a bit premature with my question. I am going to have a go at it using SSIS and fuzzy lookup, looks like it may be the thing for my problem. 😀
