Hi ADK,

 

You could try to use the Find Replace tool. Have Table A feed into the F input and table B feed into the R input. Then you can find Account Name B within Account Name A (I reccomend Case Insensitive Find). Then append the Account Name B to the  the Record (instead of replacing text)

Hello Hogo,

Thanks for taking time in replying to my Post. I'm very much new to this Tool, din't know how to use it thanks for your help. I was able to get the Output by making slight changes.

Thanks,
Abhishek

Hello,

 

As a follow-up question to this post, how could I identify cases that matched more than once? Ideally, I want to create an Exceptions report for Account Names that matched to more than one string.

 

Thank you,

Jessica

This is such a fantastic solution! I was really running out of ideas but this does the trick. I had input lists with values of variable length before they had a wildcard I needed to match against database values and this does the trick (with a little cleanup of the wildcard characters). I can't thank you enough for your help!!!!!
