you can to use this code
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngDV As Range
Dim oldVal As String
Dim newVal As String
If Target.Count > 1 Then GoTo exitHandler
On Error Resume Next
Set rngDV = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation)
On Error GoTo exitHandler
If rngDV Is Nothing Then GoTo exitHandler
If Intersect(Target, rngDV) Is Nothing Then
Else
  Application.EnableEvents = False
  newVal = Target.Value
  Application.Undo
  oldVal = Target.Value
  Target.Value = newVal
  If Target.Column = 4 Then
    If oldVal = "" Then
          Else
      If newVal = "" Then
        Else
      Target.Value = oldVal _
        & ", " & newVal
      End If
    End If
  End If
End If
exitHandler:
  Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

This formula solution required OFFICE 365 for the using of TEXTJOIN function

In D2 array formula (CRTL+SHIFT+ENTER) copied down :

=TEXTJOIN(", ",1,IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A$2:A$6,FILTERXML("<a><b>"&SUBSTITUTE(C2,", ","</b><b>")&"</b></a>","//b"),0)),B$2:$B$6,""))

Edit: please remove trailing space at cell A2 and A5 in the OP attached file of Post #.01

Regards

An alternative formula-based solution ...
First I introduced names: TextList; ValueList; CSV where the last is a relative reference to the strings.
To avoid Ctrl+Shift+Enter I defined a named formula numbers to refer to
= IF( ISNUMBER( SEARCH( TextList, CSV ) ), ValueList, "" )
This returns an array of values which is concatenated using the worksheet formula
= TEXTJOIN( ", ", TRUE, numbers )
