I need to determine if the individual cells in column A (A1:A17933) contain text from any of the cells in column C (C1:C1957), and if so, return the column C cell's corresponding value in column D (D1:D1957) to the column B cell next to the column A cell containing the column C cell text.

For instance, in the following sample table, B1:B13 would be filled with 0.44, while B:14:B20 would be filled with 0.82.
