Mapping Company Lookalike Results to a New Table Efficiently

Avatar of Tom V.Tom V.

Hi, I have a list of about 1230 and I have run a company lookalike search. How do I map all of the different companies to a new table? I did it once already where I mapped the results to a new table, and I got 12k rows. Although, when I enabled auto-dedupe, it reduced to 49. Is this because all of the lookalike companies for each row where the same and there we only 49 unique ones? I basically want to know if the method that I did imported all of the lookalike companies, or just the ones from the cell I clicked "write to new table" on.

    Hey Tom, thanks for reaching out! Write to table is the best method here to map all the lookalike results to a new table. When you select write to new table, the new column will run on all rows so all of the companies in each row should be sent to a new table, not just the cell you selected it for. Which column did you enable Auto-dedupe on? We typically recommend deduping on a unique identifier such as LinkedIn url. If you deduped on a non-unique identifier such as "Country" for example this could explain why you are seeing such a significant drop in results. I've attached more info on auto-dedupe below. If you share the table you're working from I can take a closer look :) [App: Article Inserter]
