Hello Experts, I have two tables as sources. In Table 1, I need to remove over 1000+ keywords that are listed in Table 2. I will iterate through each row of Table 2, and if any string from Table 2 is found in the names of Table 1, I will remove it. The expected output will be stored in Table 3.

Table 1 - which contains Column A with String have 10,000+ records

Name
ABC Inc llc DEF
Plc GFS
DDD Corporate
123 .,#

 

Table2 Which contains Keyword to be removed

Name
Inc
llc
Plc
.,#
Corporate

Expected Output

Name
ABC DEF
GFS
DDD
123

Seems very possible with a Find Replace! Not sure an iterative macro is needed

aggreed with @alexnajm  but you could also use text pre-processing if you have access to the Intelligence suite, though it does seem to like the comma (",").
