This table contains the official used subject names.

The second table is the user table that has the user input subject names.

So my last table would be, change the user subject name to the official name, keep the user code combine with the official code.

This gives the correct results, but would need checking and editing before extending to a larger data set.  I'm excluding the words "and" and "studies", with more subjects you might also want to take out e.g. "science".  There would be other options with the Alteryx Intelligence Suite but I assume you're just using Designer.

 

It matches words from table 1 to 2 and 2 to 3, then puts it all together to get the IDs and names you want.
