Hello! I'm have a client base, with phone numbers and names. I want to filter bots, thats placing orders sometimes. One of the main bot's singn: one phone number with different names.
So, i can count distinct names for every phone number.
But! Sometime real customers entering ther names differently. Like this:
Perfect example. This is three versions of one name: Short Name, Extended name with error, and Real extended name.
Also, some body use several space bars between words, or even strange symbols like "+" instead of space bar.
So, my question is: How can i count this names as one?
You could remove the "special" characters during LOAD, using PurgeChar
PurgeChar and KeepChar Functions
Then perhaps only check the first x characters from the name?
It will never be perfect, but a bit of tweaking of the parameters could get you close...

Maybe you performed a count([Customer ID]) instead of count([Customer Name]).
