POWER BI/EXCEL/VBA - Row Classification based on a list of contained words

Question

i'm trying to recreate a parser, inside different applications (just to find out a good and light way to do it) that, with a list of given values try to classify a row. Here it is an example:

Table1: contains items that have to be classified:

Code	Description
1	this is a common row that belong to Jake
2	this is a special row that belong to Thomas

Table 2: contains Keywords that have to be searched inside Table1 [Description]

Keywords	Category
common, Jake	Common Jake Row
special, belong, row, Thomas	Special Thomas Row

The result that i want to obtain is:

Code	Description	Category
1	this is a common row that belong to Jake	Common Jake Row
2	this is a special row that belong to Thomas	Special Thoams Row

Is there a way to have this in VBA or Excel or PowerBI?

Thanks in advance

Just do a fuzzy join in Power Query and tweak the threshold.
