Hello,

 

I have data that looks like this and the goal is to validate if the order season is in the selling season.  I tried like but it didn't seem to be consistent.   Any help would be appreciated.

    Do you have an example of your like statement or how it wasn't consistent?

     

    Like should work to determine if the order season is in your selling season CSV string.

     

    CASE
      WHEN `Selling Seasons` like CONCAT('%', `Order Season`, '%') THEN 
        'Y' 
      ELSE 
        'N'
    END
