How to Bin string data into defined categories

$

Hello,

 

I´m trying to bin data into defined categories to cleanse de info i got.

 

For example, I have different names for US states with typos on them:

Texas, TX, Texxas, teas, texass, etc.

Ohio, ohhio, oho, OH

 

I have a list of all the states with a unique name, and I am trying to assign my rows with each state in an easy way (i want to avoid identifying all the different ways of writing the state name and then using filters). I was wondering if there is an easy way to identify an "bin" the data.

 

Thank you!
