Hi @AllanBerces -Use below calculated column with switch and search function combination.

 

JobCategory =
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    SEARCH("234", [jobNo], 1, 0) > 0, "Plumber",
    SEARCH("135", [jobNo], 1, 0) > 0, "Mason",
    SEARCH("204", [jobNo], 1, 0) > 0, "Electrician",
    SEARCH("232", [jobNo], 1, 0) > 0, "Helper",
    SEARCH("789", [jobNo], 1, 0) > 0, "Lead",
    SEARCH("890", [jobNo], 1, 0) > 0, "Painter",
    "Unknown"
)
