SEARCH TEXT STRING BASED ON LIST OF VALUES - EXACT MATCH
Hi There have been solutions offered regarding searching string text using a list of values, eg: 1. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Power-query-Add-column-with-list-of-keywords-found...

Was able to solve the problem by wrapping the string text in single spaces (b4 and after). Did the same with the list of lookup values. Thereafter, comparison worked like a gem.

you convert the text to list and then use list comparators, e.g. List.Contains
