Compare Data Set to a list of Keywords and find (contains) matches

Hi.  I am working on a project to compare a data set DATATABLE with customer names (CUSTNAME field) against a separate table KEYWORDS with 1000 words.  I want to either filter, or extract/return, results if there is a the CUSTNAME field contains any word in KEYWORDS.
Is there a way to do this?  I'm thinking probably a loop to go through each of the data elements in the key words table and then to do a "contains" comparison with isini or something?  Just wanted to see if there was a way, or code available, to do this.  Thanks!

Script to knock off positive and negative values from a data set

Hi Brian,
Hope you're doing good. Am looking for a Idea script which can be used to knock off positive and negative values from a data set taking into considerations the GL codes as well.
Currently, I am able to perform this in an excel file by using the below mentioned formula,
“=(COUNTIFS($B$2:B2,B2,$A$2:A2,A2)<=MIN(COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$1000000,-B2,$A$2:$A$1000000,A2),COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$1000000,B2,$A$2:$A$1000000,A2)))”

Create text file containing field modifications

Hi,
Is it possible to create an IDEA script generating text file in which list down all field modifications and new field creations?
For example, the field "Date" when imported will be renamed to "SaleDate" and this field will be used to create a new field called "FinalDate" later

And is there a good guide on how to use VBA Excel? I want to add more worksheets tabs and add text to the diffrent worksheet tabs. I got this far with Google:

Set ExcelSheet = CreateObject("Excel.Sheet")
ExcelSheet.Application.Visible = False
ExcelSheet.Application.Cells(1, 1).Value = "This is column A, row 1"
