How can I highlight Partial matches in a single column of google sheets? some entries are the same but they have slight misspellings or some are in lowercase. How do you highlight these partial matches? thank you very much

Solution 1:[1]

try:

=(INDEX(COUNTIF(REGEXREPLACE(A:A, "[^A-Za-z]+", ), 
                REGEXREPLACE(A1,  "[^A-Za-z]+", )))>1)*(A1<>"")

enter image description here

what this does is that regex will delete everything which is not A-Z or a-z
