First worksheet has around 48,000 rows (x 3 columns), second worksheet has around 23,000 rows (x 5 columns).

The Fuzzy Lookup is comparing one column from each returning a similarity between the two.

The fuzzy lookup appears to run without a problem, and the results - in most cases - appear to be correct.

For example: W2-NK2216 in one worksheet shows to have a 0.97 similarity to W2NK2216.

For example: 761689700000 should have some degree of similarity to: 761689700000EN4239 but the Fuzzy Lookup add in returns 0.000 for it.

Both fields are formatted as text.

I have similarity threshold set to 0.48, which should return matches.

The only other Fuzzy Lookup settings I have changed were in Configure -- Global -- UseApproximateIndexing.

I have hundreds of examples like the one above that show 0.000 similarity, but appear to be very similar.

Any ideas or suggestions as to what the issue might be how best to resolve it.
