I have two tables:
Addresses: This has a single column with a list of addresses.
Country Data Table. This is a data table of country names, continents, country codes etc
All of the addresses have a defined country and I know that the country is labelled correctly as it was chosen from a form, not typed in by a user.
How can I therefore do an approximate match and extract the country from the address by comparing it against the country table. I want to create a secod column next to the address column for Country.
For example with the following address:
Block 10, Villa Concerto, Symphony Bay, Sai Kung, Hong Kong
I want to compare that string against the Country Name column of my country table, match the Hong Kong part and return just that.
I have tried a different way use the Power BI maps however its ability to identify non-western addresses is hugely sub-par and many of my addresses do not appear e.g. China, India, Japan.
