I have shipment names with the days of the week they ship abbreviated inside them. For instance Shipment1_M_WThF. This shipment goes out on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I also have Shipment2_Fr-Su, which goes out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

I also have a shipment tracker spreadsheet with the day the item actually went out. I have the date that I converted to the day of week name. For instance, 12/2/2022 is a Friday. How do I match the partial string (M,Tu,W,Thu,F,Sat,Sun) in the first spreadsheet to the full day name (Friday) in the other spreadsheet only if the shipment ID is the same?
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Do you have an example?
Like "input" -> "output"
