excel - Find similar strings in list and count them - maybe existing software? -


i have problem. have there excel list in following format:


columbia university           | yes  washington university         | yes  university of columbia        | no  columbia uni                  | no  columbia university, new york | yes  washington uni                | no  columbia university           | yes  university of washington      | yes  washington university         | yes  washington uni                | no


the result should following 

columbia university | 3 x yes  washington university | 3 x yes

the challenge tell program/software these different strings represent same university same. have idea of program learns automatically. maybe give program user suggestions like: might columbia university, right?

it great if has solution that. don't mind if know existing program solve problem? better!

thank help!

just thinking, have helper table list unique colleges in 1 column, , "actual equivalent" in cell right of it. ie:

columbia university     columbia university columbia uni            columbia university washington uni          washington university washington university   washington university

and use vlookup return "actual" college. much? won't "learn", it'll going in mean time. more , more colleges/names, list more robust.
