    Assistance will using keywords to auto populate 3 columns. HELP :)

    Good Morning,
    I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that is a bit difficult for me.
    The first sheet titled db is a database of all the information to pull from. Columns D-F will have keywords that if on the main report you type one in, I need it to list the first 3 columns associated with it.
    I've attached a sample of spreadsheet. Is this possible to do in excel?

    Copy across / down.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE
