    Assuming that the data start from 2nd Row since 1st row will have column headers.

    In C2
    =IF(A2=B2,"This Cell","")

    Or

    =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(B2,A2)),"This Cell","")

    Apply filter in Column-C and select "This Cell")

    If you need to find A in B then put below formula in column C; drag to the end

    =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(A2,B2)),"This Cell","")

    Apply filter in Column-C and select "This Cell")

    Yes i have used that formula but it gives answer, if A & B cell is exactly same. But B cell has not only text as A. B has other text also.
