I have data in below format
1. Match String where it's extract with pipe character. Raw Data in simple form with specific values.
I need to perform "Match String " against "Raw data" column and see whether it exists in Raw Data. If it exist, then I expect to return value from "Raw Data" column.
I tried with Vlookup (using wild char) but it didn;t work. Is there any other suggestion?

thanks for response. I realized, column B exists in separate tab so question is slightly different. Column B "Raw Data" is unique however I expect multiple matches against column A "Match String" so result may be similar as below
