Fuzzy Lookup and Case

Hi,

Could someone please help!

Im doing a fuzzy lookup based on 3 fields (Surname/DOB/Gender). The only difference between the two sets of data is the case of the first letter of the Surname.

Reference table has "Stuart" Lookup has "stuart", I have set Fuzzy Lookup Input for Surname to Ignore Case but still it won't match.

The DOB/Gender are Exsactly the same.

Why does this not work? I there a work around?

Many Thanks, Deano

This isn't a "fuzzy" workaround, but for the scenario you describe it may well work.

Try adding explicitly lower-cased versions of your comparison columns to your data flow source and to the lookup query. Use the standard Lookup transformation, with the lower-cased columns being used for the lookup matching. This will allow you to perform a case-insensitive match without the overhead of the Fuzzy Lookup transformation. If there is a match, send the rows down your data flow path. If there is not, send the rows down an error path, and then use the Fuzzy Lookup only on the error rows.|||No, still not working, I have looked at the data and converted them all to they same type (Unicode String/ String etc both now varchar(50) ) and they still don't match up .It works if I group all the datain one import but if import one of the records into the database then try and import the other it does not match (Same logic). I can't help but thing it is a data type issue but I can't see any difference.

Someone please help!
