    Finding and eliminating numbers

    I attached a sample XLSX file.

    In column A are 32 "raw" numbers.

    D1 and E1 are two numbers (3 and 8).

    What I'm wanting to do is eliminate all numbers in Column A which include a 3 and 8 or both (the color coding is only for a visual locater).

    Thus leaving in Column G the final 19 revised numbers.

    I through it would be some sort of "array" formula or a "pivotal table" (which I have hellva problem with).

    Any help?
