(GENERAL) Transform author name abbreviation to TDWG standard
Access query (in Excell use Substitute instead of Replace):
standardAuthor: Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace([Author],". ","."),".ex",". ex"),".in",". in"),".&",". &")
(SPECIFY) Identify autonyms
Access VBA in query: isAutonym: IIf(findOccurancesCount([CanonicalName],[Name])>1,True,False)
VBA Function: Source
Function findOccurancesCount(baseString, subString) As Integer
baseString = Nz(baseString, " ")
subString = Nz(subString, " ")
occurancesCount = 0
i = 1
Do
foundPosition = InStr(i, baseString, subString) 'searching from i position
If foundPosition > 0 Then 'substring is found at foundPosition index
occurancesCount = occurancesCount + 1 'count this occurance
i = foundPosition + 1 'searching from i+1 on the next cycle
End If
Loop While foundPosition <> 0
findOccurancesCount = occurancesCount
End Function
(SPECIFY) Derive canonical name from FullName
Access-VBA in query:
canonicalName: IIf(InStr(Nz([fullname]),":")>0,Mid([Fullname],InStr([fullname],":")+2),[Fullname])
