title: How to pair countries with almost same names in Excel?
body: <p>I need help how to pair little bit different names of countries. Problem is that I have two datasets from different sources. In first sheet names of countries are based on ISO names and shortcuts, but in second sheet names are not based on ISO names.</p>
  
  <p>Sheet1:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VVTsV.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VVTsV.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Sheet2:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/G6blr.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/G6blr.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I tried use VLOOKUP function to pair official iso name with name from Sheet2,  but result of <em>United States</em> was <em>United Kingdom</em></p>
  
  <p>Have you got any thoughts how to avoid replacing problem names? </p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
