 Hi @Aggsneh 

 

Based on what you sent, all the names were found in the dataset. See below using a find and replace logic to flag the fields with the name being matched.

Is this what you were looking for?

If I understand your requirements, you're trying to identify the description rows that contain one of the keyword names? If so, you can use a find and replace to search the description field for the keyword. I've appended it to a new column. Anything that matched would have a name field filled in.

 

I used a filter to separate out those that didn't match. Hope this helps!
