thank you. but when i enter this i only get Zeros and, blanks and > but these are not accurate

i wonder if my look up values aren't formatted correctly, I have said F1* because i want the formula to include any value with an F1 in it - as a match..

is this what is causing the issue?
I cant work out how to upload my spreadsheet

Hello, could you please test this:

Excel Formula:
=BYROW(B2:D28,LAMBDA(a,IF(SUM(--(ISTEXT(XLOOKUP(I2:I6,a,a,,2))))>0,1,0)))

I interpreted that as starting with F1, F2 etc. Can it appear in the middle of the string? If you look at my sample, if you mean it starts at the beginning of the string that my formula does that.
1 if any of those values appear in the row, 0 if it doesn't

If the F1, F2,... can appear anywhere in the text:
