One way:
=TEXTJOIN(",",1,FILTER(Library[Column1],(Library[Library]=Trans[@Ref1])+(Library[Library]=Trans[@Ref2])+(Library[Library]=Trans[@Ref3])))

Why do you expect Low, Low for the final row???
=TEXTJOIN(", ",,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(Library[Library],Trans[@[Ref1]:[Ref3]])),Library[Column1],""))

Hi Ali
I noticed that when I tried the proposed solution it did not pick up the text "ump" in jump and Dump on the second row of text. Also the components in the Category Column are in the Order of Library[Column1} - they need to be in the order of columns Ref1 Ref2 Ref3 - is this possible?
Thanks Ali

Hi Glenn
Thanks for the solution.
I did notice that the components in the Category Column are in the Order of Library[Coulmn1} - they to be in the order of columns Ref1 Ref2 Ref3 - is this possible?
Please try
=TEXTJOIN(",",,TRANSPOSE(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(Library[Library],C4:E4)),Library[Column1],"")))
Hi
Thank you for this nice solution. What would I change if I wanted cells that did not contain any of teh text strings in K Library to return a place Holder eg Low,,Medium
Kind Regards
Allister
Try
=LET(m,MMULT(SEQUENCE(,ROWS(Library)),--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(Library[Library],C4:E4)))),TEXTJOIN(",",0,IF(m,INDEX(Library[Column1],m),"")))
