Finding Partial Matches Between Two Columns in Alteryx

Buddhi_DB

Hi everyone,

I have an Excel workbook with two sheets: "Source Text" and "Key words." The "Source Text" sheet contains a column of narratives, and the "Key words" sheet contains a list of keywords. I need to find any part of each keyword that matches any part of each narrative.

 

Here's an example of the data structure:

Source Text (Narrative column):

  • MONTHLY PLAN FEE
  • DEPOSIT LOGANDIST2 LOGANDIST2
  • DEPOSIT-OSKO PAYMENT 2512203 Masons Prestige W...
  • DEPOSIT-OSKO PAYMENT 2385331 DAVID JEFFREYS W1...
  • DEPOSIT-OSKO PAYMENT 2173035 SCS4WD 02 JUL 2023

Key words (Name column):

  • DWYER PHILIP
  • Philip DWYER
  • MUDANNAYAKE NISHANT
  • Nishantha MUDANNAYAK
  • Kids Big Day Out Sou

Could anyone guide me on how to set up a workflow in Alteryx to achieve this? I need to generate a list of all narratives that contain any part of any keyword. Attached the workflow I built so far.
