I created a Google Sheets add‑on 5+ years ago and it is still #1 for data cleaning

I m Andrew, creator of Flookup Data Wrangler, a lightweight yet powerful Google Sheets add on built in 2019 that is consistently rated #1 for data cleaning.

What Flookup does

Flookup enables smarter data cleaning without leaving Sheets:

  • Fuzzy lookup and merge by percentage similarity, sound similarity or semantic (meaning based) matching

  • Strip punctuation, diacritics and stop words before matching

  • Highlight or remove near duplicates, even with typos or inconsistent formatting

  • Calculate similarity scores between any two text entries based on percentage or find their semantic meaning using AI

  • Extract unique values based on threshold similarity levels

  • Combine lookup values to increase specificity when data contains similar strings
