Hi all!

 

I'm trying run some workflow to pick up keywords from a specific column and if the cell contains the required keywords, then it will indicate in the relevant column with something like a "Yes" but to no avail.. wondering if any one can kindly help me?

 

Table to begin with:

Group IDGroup NameGroup TasksScrubClean/ Wash/ MopDry
1Aclear trash, scrub, off the lights   
2Bclean fans, dry fans   
3Chang dry clothes   
4Dwipe tables   
5Emop the canteen   
6Fcoordinate   

 

I'm trying to achieve the below with the highlighted fields autopopulated

Group IDGroup NameGroup TasksScrubClean/ Wash/ MopDry
1Aclear trash, scrub, off the lights Yes  
2Bclean fans, dry fans  Yes Yes
3Chang dry clothes   Yes
4Dwipe tables

Try the Formula tool:

The LowerCase is just there so that the formula will work even if someone uses capital letters in the Group Tasks (will work with "dry" or "Dry" or "DRY').
