Excel multiple criteria match with partial strings using formulas

Question

I have some data that I would like to assign a description based on the partial strings as those can come with partial and different names. Below is an example of the column I need to add a description next to based on the partial match:

PRODUCT
ARK-78787
7878ARK-7555
BEL*EEER44
eerBEL*/*
fdseebel***

and I have a table like this for the description

Category A  ARK,BAR,CER
Category B  BEL,CEL,DEL

I need to match those multiple strings while checking the partial match but have no luck so far. The formula I'm using is:

=INDEX(F:F,AGGREGATE(15,7,ROW($G$3:$I$3)/(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($G$2:$I$2,B2))),1))

Attaching a Google Sheets file as a reference to have a better picture of this

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Enter the formula in D2 as an array formula and drag it down

=INDEX($H$1:$H$5,MAX((ROW($I$2:$K$5)*ISNUMBER(SEARCH($I$2:$K$5,A2)))))

Answer 2

Based on the provided non-array-formula and sample data, the final formula would look like

=INDEX($H$1:$H$5,AGGREGATE(15,7,(ROW($I$2:$K$5))/(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($I$2:$K$5,A2))),1))

EDIT: set ranges according to the answer of @usmanhaq.
