Delete Entire Column if do not contain

[habsfan]

Hi there,

Having an issue I can't seem to sort through.

100 columns.

I have 50 values that I want to keep.
All others to be deleted

Example to want to keep: Child1AgeNow3
But there are other like Child1AgeNow3.TM, Child1AgeNow3.RN which I still want to keep

Want a script to go through all columns and delete it if it doesn't contain specific text from an array.

Example array: Child1AgeNow3*, Child1Gender2*, etc etc

Can anyone give me an assist here?

Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

Try this

This deletes columns that does NOT HAVE Child1AgeNow3* on the First row of the column, amend to adjust
