I have a list of words in a range and I would like to create a formula to see if those words are within a cell value. Rather than the formula saying TRUE or FALSE, I would like the formula to provide the actual word that it found OR a numeric value for where that words position is in the list (i.e. if the formula found the 3rd word in the list, then the formula would provide a 3)

Here is the data:

F13:F22F13=TEXTJOIN(", ",,XLOOKUP(TEXTSPLIT(D13," "),$D$2:$D$10,$D$2:$D$10,""))

In this example let’s say when two values are returned such as “purple green” you want to return instead “data quality issue” how would you do this?
