how to do this partial match? Thanks in advance!

[Deleted]

Hi, could anybody give me some insight of how to do partial match?

my situation is as below:

I have thousands row of column b, and column d is the things I will be deleting:

instead of searching each cell in column B from column d:

e.g., 1.seach if there is any bbb in column b, 

       2. found b2 contains bbb,

       3.deleting bbb in b2

 will there be any formula help me to accomplish this procedure?

All I need is partial match.

Best,

Does the attached file return the results you are looking for?

thank you! I think this is what I was asking for: but would you mind telling me what should I revise if I have like hundreds of row in column D?
my situation is I have thousand rows in column B, and hundred rows in column D, do I have to edit each rows of column E in your attached file?
or could I just maybe perform partial match in column E?
Thanks a million~

Sub combine_delete()
    
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim k As Long
Dim mypos As Long
Dim rowsB As Long
Dim rowsD As Long

rowsB = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
rowsD = Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For i = 2 To rowsB

For k = 2 To rowsD

mypos = InStr(1, Cells(i, 2), Cells(k, 4))

If mypos > 0 Then

Cells(i, 7).Value = Replace(Replace(Cells(i, 2), Cells(k, 4), ""), ",,", ",")

If Left(Cells(i, 7), 1) = "," Then
Cells(i, 7).Value = Right(Cells(i, 7), Len(Cells(i, 7)) - 1)

Else

    If Right(Cells(i, 7), 1) = "," Then
    Cells(i, 7).Value = Left(Cells(i, 7), Len(Cells(i, 7)) - 1)
    
    Else
    End If

End If

Else
End If
Next k

Next i


End Sub

Maybe with this code. In the attached file you can click the button in cell E2 to start the macro. You can enter additional data in columns B and D.
