I have a column of 5000 job titles, I would like to search the column for any of 20 different words. If it contain any of the 20 words, I will delete them.

I see how I can filter up to 2 words using the customer filter and using the word contains. How do I do this for up to 20 words?
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
You use asterisks.....

Please paste your data and your filter criteria (including the header rows) here.
Here is the part of the column, it is surrounded on both sides by data:
Position
Owner/Founder
Co-Program Medical Director
Physician
Physician
Hospitalist RN
Clinical Research Fellow - Nephrology
General Pediatrician
Pediatric cardiology fellow
hospitalist
Head, Clinical Research Cold, Cough and Respiratory Disease
MD - Hospitalist
Hospitalist
Primary Care Internal Medicine Physician
Hospitalist Physician
Hospitalist
Physician
Chief Medical Officer
Physician/Pediatric Hospitalist

I want to seach first to filter for anything wiht these words os I can delete them, to not also delete the search informatioin, I have to have it on another sheet:
position
=?*nurse*
=?*recruit*
=?*np*
=?*physician assistant*
=?*coordinator*
=?*scheduler*
=?*administration*
=?*billing*
=?*arnp*
=?*staffing*
=?*rn*
=?*aprn*
=?*executive assistant*

Then I want to run a search for all exact of these same titles to see if they say the below words (any of them. I've tried two differnt ways: (Thisis written ="=Hospitalist"
position
=Hospitalist
=Pediatric Hospitalist
=MD Hospitalist
=Hospitalist MD
=physician Hospitalist
=Hospitalist physician

<colgroup><col width="67" style="width:50pt"> </colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

and like this (written ="=EXACT(Hospitalist)")

position
=EXACT(Hospitalist)
=EXACT(Hospitalist MD)
=EXACT(physician Hospitalist)
=EXACT(Hospitalist physician)
=EXACT(Pediatric Hospitalist)
=EXACT(MD Hospitalist)

<colgroup><col width="67" style="width:50pt"> </colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

<colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>



<colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>
