How to join 2 datasets by looking up if a string in dataset A is contained in dataset B

Hi,

 

I have dataset A and B.

I want to lookup dataset A (Column X) into dataset B (column Y).

 

If dataset B(Col Y row) contains the string(not a full match, just if its exists in Col Y) from dataset A (column X) , then keep that row in dataset B.

 

 

Ie  Dataset A column X.

Does this exist in Databset B Col Y.

ie  

 

alteryxisacf2cool

alteryxs2pisawesome.

 

If it exists return dataset B rows which match this logic.
