Create new table from matching varaibles

Minh
6 - Meteoroid

I have 2 columns, the "Variables" column contains the data and the "Find" column contains the values that I want to find. I want to find matching variables and create a new table from that. For the example below, I am trying to use column "Find" (containing values A and B) to find all of the matching elements in the column "Variables" and create a new table from the results found. As you can see in the desired output table, all A and B were found in column "Variables" and put into a new table while the old variables that are not A and B are still in the original table. Please keep in mind the the word "Find" will never appear in column "Variables" so we don't need to worry it. Can you help me? Thank you.

 

Sample data:                                      Desired output:

Update: I were able to find the matching like below but the process of formatting the data into what I want is very tricky and could not get it right.

I'm not able to understand your request.  Can you provide some different data examples, or add more words to clarify what you're trying to do?
