Filterin of Cities in addresses

Hi,

I am a newbie in excel. My problem is how to match and filter the cities in a list of address in Column B. There's about 14,500 list of addresses in one column and I need to identify which city needs to be excluded from the list in Column A. This is because these cities are affected by Typhoon Yolanda. Please see attached.

I already tried vlookup but it doesn't provide the result I need.

Please help. I have a deadline on this.

Thanks.

Hi Azumi..

When i ran your filter for the City of "AKLAN".. 2 out of the first 8 results don't seem correct..

It looks like it has picked up the string "AKLAN" within other words..

POBLACION BANGA MALAY WESTERN VISAYAS AKLAN 5608
880 NEW BUSWANG KALIBO AKLAN
DONGON WEST NUMANCIA WESTERN VISAYAS AKLAN 5604
203 LOWER KALAKLAN RD. OLONGAPO ZAMBALES
131 YAP MANOR POBLACION BANGA AKLAN
SCUBA CHAMP STATION 1 BALABAG MALAY AKLAN
LGU MALAY BALABAG MALAY WESTERN VISAYAS AKLAN 560
SA GEMINI ST UPPER KALAKLAN OLONGAPO ZAMBALES

I also noticed that when doing a Filter on the city of "Antique".. the following result came:
162 RIZAL ST POBLACION ANTIQUERA CENTRAL VISAYAS

Having said that.. I like the way you have set it out..
