I need to parse the columns for specific string like (APPLE|Dell) and if found i want to output which column i found it in separate column as source column.

 

In the output next to Computer column i would like to get new column(Source column) where i need to populate where the string is found like in ( summary ,description or technical summary)

 

 

Input---

This is completely emiminating if computer(search string is not found). Even if there is no computer in the input i want the record in output with null value

@archanacg1 okay, this should be fine.

By the way, if you want to search for more terms like Dell, Apple, etc, just add them to the lookup table :-)

@archanacg1 it just returns empty (null) if nothing is found:
