Author  Topic  djj6688 Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2014-06-01 : 07:19:42 Hi all, Does anyone know how to use Master Data Services (and the Excel Plug-in) to merge 2 tables into a unique list of records, with FK Links back to the original tables. For example, a table of Staff and a Payroll table, which contain the same list of people, but with different name spellings etc. After matching I need to be able to link from the Staff table to the Payroll table through the new list of unique names. I'm sure lots of people must have attempted this before. Is Master Data Services in SQL 2014 improved at all? Thanks in advance Sid
