Lookup question

Hi All,

Requesting help on the below look up question. 

I tried using text to columns and then mapping them separately, but I do not know how many columns the text to column tools to split. in the below example the first row is 3 next is 5 next one can be 10. Is there a robust way to do this. 

I have a Data set 

Data set
A;B;C
F;G;H;J;K
L;M;N
M;J
E;
D;

 

I have a lookup table

Hey @Manjari ,

 

Parsing to rows usually does the trick with a record id added!
