Creating a conditional column with boolean (Yes/No) result for matching partial text matches

Hello Wahid777 

you can use a combination of List.Transform, List.AnyTrue and Text.Contains. Here the example

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Pc0xDsIwEETRq4xccwmEKAggihAEilwYZ1Fc2BvtusC3x7FE6vdHM47mKuh4TgiKPBMOxxv4g6+xu2qKS0mbPYInLEIaJkp5zV4tu3P8Jy6+naqbWFYe+j0yNxjOLe1IpGxfHBeXCnryQtlVqJsnTskba38=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Original column" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Original column", type text}}),
    CheckWords = Table.AddColumn
    (
        #"Changed Type",
        "Check",
        (add)=> List.AnyTrue(List.Transform({"Ambassador","CEO","Chief Executive Officer","Chief Financial Officer","CFO"}, each Text.Contains(Text.Upper(add[Original column]), Text.Upper(_))))
    )
in
    CheckWords

you could get the info you want using the code used here

although no answer has been promoted to solution by Anonymous

you have just to change the labels, and get the additional information of what item matches, non only that there is one match:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcvR1jPL3UwhwjPR19QsJVnANDfIPcFUI1nPWc9RTcHFVitUBKvJx8VRw93XyUNBWcPbXU/B2Bwunlhblp2WWGJkouOcmeYCF8lLLFYpL8otSwbwAf2d/BdfMvKLM5IyS0rz04tzE1KLsklSo+lgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Bank transfer intended purpose" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Bank transfer intended purpose", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Category", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(Text.SplitAny([#"Bank transfer intended purpose"], Text.Combine(List.Difference({" ".."@"},{"0".."9"}))), each Record.FieldOrDefault(storeDict, Text.Lower(_))),";"))
in
    #"Added Custom"

let
    dict = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcsxNrMrPU9JRcivNU4rVAQrkpGSCuPn5KQrBJflFqWBR15TU7ERM4YD85Hyw3qK8zJJSmNrSovy0zBIjE6CMe2WuUmwsAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Store = _t, Category = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(dict,{{"Store", type text}, {"Category", type text}})
in
 Record.FromList(dict[Store],List.Transform(dict[Store],Text.Lower))

Hi, there, I use to List.Intersect as follows,

let
    Source = #table({"Original column"}, {{"Mr John is the CEO of x"},{"Ms Lynn is the Vice president of Y"},{"Tom is the ambassador of USA to the UK"},{"Jerry is the Company Secretary of X Inc"}}),
    Keywords = #table({"Keywords"}, {{"Ambassador"}, {"CEO"}, {"Chief Executive Officer"}, {"Chief Financial Officer"}, {"CFO"}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each 
        [counter = List.Count(List.Intersect({Text.Split(_[Original column], " "), Keywords[Keywords]}, Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)),
        result = if counter > 0 then "YES" else "NO"][result]
    )
in
    #"Added Custom"
