Vlookup string/wildcard within string
How do I lookup a string in a string and populate corresponding column from different sheet?
For example, if Sheet 2 Column A has Ford Ikon and Column B has Car and Sheet 1 Column A has Ford Fortuner, I want to populate Car in Sheet 1 Column B by matching Ford.
I want to run this at scale for multiple attributes and rows and hence, looking for a macro

This is more of fuzzy matching rather wild card... I think. May be worth looking in to

Adding some more examples would be useful - it's difficult to derive all your matching rules from a single example.

I added example data images. For example, for 'Seats for Ikon' in Input Data, I need macro to lookup into Keyword data and populate 'Car' by matching partial keyword from "Ford Ikon"
