Search text string within a column

Hi Guru's

 

I have two data sources

1.  Shipment Level Data - Data is at a shipment level and contains a column for Order Number - sometimes multiple order numbers exist in the Order number field.

2.  Order Number Level Data  - Data at an order number level - Order Number field only contains 1 order number

 

I need to create a calculated column in the 'Order Number Level Data' that returns some of the fields in the 'Shipment Level Data' using the Order number as the lookup reference.  The problem is that the 'Shipment Level Data' [Order Number] field contains multiple order numbers.  

I need to know how to search the 'Shipment Level Data' [Order Number] field to find the shipment that contains the relevant order number.

Can anyone help?

Hi @Anno2019 ,

Thanks for your sharing firstly.

However, I cannot find the Shipment Level Data' [Order Number] and  the Order Number field in Order Number Level Data  which mentioned in your first post.

In addition, what is your desired output?

Best Regards,

Cherry
