Conditional Formatting Question
What is the formal logic behind to compare the names. For example,
Martinez, J.D.
J.D. Martinez
J.D. Martinez BOS OF
are above 3 different persons or the same one?
The naming conventions are different based on different sources of the Rankings. The individual is the same for all three.
That complicate the things, some assumption shall be made. I guess Alonso, Pete; Peter Alonso and Alonso Pete something is also the same person.
Assumption could be to check only last name (if comma exists when the text before comma, otherwise the text between first and second space or end of the text). Thus you will consider all Alonso as one person. You better know what is the probability to have Alonso Pete and Alonso Alex as two different persons in the ranking lists.
