All I forgot a bit of information.

I have two columns with the following:

Column A Column B
aaa-12345-er45-y1 12345
www-12344-er56-p1 12344

How would I compare the two and get a yes that information in column B contains values in Column A

select case when columnA like '%' + columnB + '%' then 'yes' else 'no' end
from yourTable
