I am trying to write a formula where if the data in cell D2 contains any specific partial words, that it'll return what category it's in. Currently I have "yay" or "nay", but that'll change. Below is the current formula I am using.

=IF(REGEXMATCH(D4,"*VEN*"),"YAY","NAY")

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
That isn't a regular expressions pattern. For that, all you need is search:

Excel Formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("VEN",D4)),"YAY","NAY")
