I have 2 columns data in

Sheet 1 -Column A is a Emp ID and Column B is a text with identified text Keywords to be replaced.
Sheet 2- Column A has Emp ID which is a primary key to sheet 1 to compare

Once the column A ID is matched in both sheets, then Column B to Column K based on header name(keyword to search in column B), the respective keywords in each cell are to be replaced.

I have around 10k data Looking for a Macro or a VB function to search and replace.

I am very thankful for creating this wonderful platform and helping us

My guess is that you have an EMP ID on Sheet1 that does not exist on Sheet2
As per this comment. Sheet1 has EMP ID 1111 and 1112 but Sheet2 does not have these. How can it do replacements for these when they do not exist in Sheet2?

A further point: Your original samples had curly braces {} around the headings in Sheet2 and the place markers in Sheet1 but these appear to have gone. This could lead to some unexpected results.

Example just to demonstrate
Sheet1
I am name but sometimes I am misnamed

Sheet2 replacement for name is John

Without the curly braces, the result would be
I am John but sometimes I am misJohnd

Peter.

I deleted 1111 and 1112 for the time being from sheet 1

Now sheet 1 and sheet 2 EMP ID is matched. Also keywords changed to {} Curly brackets
Cross checked whether keywords is exactly matched from sheet and sheet 2 - They are fine

Now,I run the macro - but macro showing an error
s = Replace(s, b(1, j), b(r, j), 1, -1, 1)

After going through i observed said few IDs not matched with sheet 1 and Sheet 2.

Try

VBA Code:
Sub InsertDetails_v02()
  Dim d As Object
  Dim a As Variant, b As Variant
  Dim i As Long, j As Long, r As Long, ubb2 As Long
  Dim s As String
  
  b = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value
  ubb2 = UBound(b, 2)
  Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  For i = 2 To UBound(b)
    d(b(i, 1)) = i
  Next i
  With Sheets("Sheet1")
    a = .Range("A2", .Range("B" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
    For i = 1 To UBound(a)
      r = d(a(i, 1))
      If r = 0 Then
        s = "Not Found"
      Else
        s = a(i, 2)
        For j = 2 To ubb2
          s = Replace(s, b(1, j), b(r, j), 1, -1, 1)
        Next j
      End If
      a(i, 2) = s
    Next i
    .Range("C2").Resize(UBound(a)).Value = Application.Index(a, 0, 2)
  End With
End Sub
