    Finding a text string into another text string

    I would appreciate if someone could help.
    I am trying to do something like this. Basically I am trying to search if there is any match from one table ( entire array ) into another array ( unstructured data) and categorize them in one or more of the categories

    My data set in different rows

    I HAVE A DOG
    I HAVE A PIG
    I HAVE A CAT
    I HAVE A DOG AND CAT


    My lookup table

    MY DOG
    MY CAT
    PIG


    I want the results like this:

    1st column 2nd column

    I HAVE A DOG MY DOG
    I HAVE A PIG PIG
    I HAVE A CAT CAT
    I HAVE A DOG AND CAT MY DOG
    I HAVE A DOG AND CAT MY CAT


    The last row should be duplicated because it belongs to both categories so that later I can make a pivot table out of it

    Hi pankajchopra,

    Can you upload an excel sheet with your data. It will be easy to understand.
