Thank you very much: @JB-007, @z.. & @Spectral Instance; I truly appreciate your attention to this issue. For brevity, I ended up using the formula: =CONCAT(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C$1:C$11,A1)),D$1:D$11,"")) and it worked on my work laptop (M365) and also worked (briefly) on my home laptop (Microsoft Student Office 2019), but when I moved my reference table, Cols C & D, to their own worksheet (Sheet2!) is where I ran into problems.
I am assuming these issues are probably all linked to the destination version of Excel I'm using, but I'd rather hear from you. Thank you once again for your help!
