Multiple Keywords Search with Power Query


If you wanted to search for some keyword(s) you could use Ctrl+F (and select Find All) to do this. If there was one value in the column entries, a lookup might work (like VLOOKUP) or using the merge feature in Power Query, but if you needed to lookup a word in a string of text in the cell, those lookup feature don't work that way. If you had many keywords or a list of them, this makes it even more challenging. Also if you wanted to give this to your stakeholders and provide some interactivity and hide the steps for them to do this without using VBA or show functions in your worksheet, think about using Power Query to do this.
