Tom, thanks! Just shared. You may want to unhide columns. I'm trying to
make it user friendly for non-tech savvy library volunteers who will be
looking at folders of ephemera (exhibition announcements, magazine
clippings, etc.) & determining whether it's the same person as the wiki
data record.

Hi David,
Mind sharing (privately if necessary) your spreadsheet? My recommended
workflow would be to pair free-form terms (like your names) with the
WIKISEARCH function and only then feed its output into WIKIDATAQID (or
rather directly WIKIDATAFACTS, as it accepts qids or article titles
directly). If this doesn't help, again the offer to share your spreadsheet
so I can have a direct look.
Cheers,
Tom
