    Exclamation Excel Masters! Advanced Filtering Using Lists, How?

    Hi all,

    Here's the problem that I can't solve.

    You have List A:

    prices
    rentals
    holidays

    You have List B:

    cabin supplies
    log cabin
    cabin rentals
    cabin holidays
    green cabins
    house cabins
    cabin prices
    wood prices
    cabin homes

    What I want is to filter out in list B any of the words from list A (they do not have to match exactly, just one word needs to match so "cabin prices" would be filtered out by "prices"). The results would then look like this:

    cabin supplies
    log cabin
    green cabins
    house cabins
    cabin homes

    I need to do this for a large list of data, but this example simplifies things. This is far too complicated for me but some of you excel gurus out there might be able to solve the problem!

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    I think pivot table can do this for you (although it's not an pivot table question).

    You don't add an excel file, so i can't show it to you.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    You could selection the word from list A and run this code, if it helps any? Assumes List B is in Column B.
