    Filter through a column and pick those cells that do not contain a specific word

    Good morning,

    I try to figure out a formula, how I can filter a column, that has multiple words and I need to filter them on such way,
    that the output should not contain a specific word.

    For example:
    Afghanistan Asia Kabul
    Albania Europe Tirana
    Algeria Africa Algiers
    Andorra Europe Andorra la Vella
    Angola Africa Luanda
    Antigua and Barbuda America St. John's
    Argentina America Buenos Aires
    Armenia Asia Yerevan
    Australia Oceania Canberra
    Austria Europe Vienna
    Azerbaijan Asia Baku
    Bahamas America Nassau
    Bahrain Asia Manama
    Bangladesh Asia Dhaka
    Barbados America Bridgetown
    Belarus Europe Minsk
    Belgium Europe Brussels
    Belize America Belmopan
    Benin Africa Porto Novo
    Bhutan Asia Thimphu
    Bolivia America Sucre
    Bosnia and Herzegovina Europe Sarajevo
    Botswana Africa Gaborone
    Brazil America Brasilia
    Brunei Asia Bandar Seri Begawan
    Bulgaria Europe Sofia
    Burkina Faso Africa Ouagadougou
    Burundi Africa Bujumbura
    Cambodia Asia Phnom Penh
    Cameroon Africa Yaound?
    Canada America Ottawa
    Cape Verde Africa Praia
    Central African Republic Africa Bangui
    Chad Africa N'Djamena
    Chile America Santiago
    China Asia Beijing
    Colombia America Bogota
    Comoros Africa Moroni
    Costa Rica America San Jos?
    Croatia Europe Zagreb
    Cuba America Havana
    Cyprus Europe Nicosia
    If we take the above list, I would like to List/Filter all the countries, which do not contain the word "America".

    Doing some research, it tells me, that the new Filter function in O365 can't be used with Wildcards in combination with "does not contain". Does someone have a trick around this riddle?

    Maybe it is very simple and there is a specific formula for this but I am not aware of it.
    Of course I could take the other way around and just match what is Europe or what is Asia but the challenge shall be, "is not" or <> with wildcard or a workaround.

    Thank you very much,

    Mike

    Dear wk9128,
    That is fantastic and works. I forgotten about the NOT. I even can use the wildcards, therefore perfect for me,

    Thanx so much for the help!!!
