I am looking for something like this as below

I have a seach string = rubi
and want to check this string presence in a lookuptable = metals.csv

Name         date                region
rubi            12122021     abc
diamond  12122022     def
platinum   12122023    ghi


what would be my splunk query to shows the presence of my search string with lookuptable.

I want the result to be something like below

Since in above example rubi is present in metals.csv my result table should look like with an extra column Present and status as Yes

Name  Present
rubi       Yes


If not present say example searchstring=copper and is not present in metals.csv then output table should be
Name      Present
copper      No


Note: I am giving the seachstring in text box of dashboard and want a result table as above
