I have a range of vertical data in one column from E1:E1406 with cells containing 5-6 letters. I want to create a separate column next to it which would extract cells from E1:E1406 containing a certain word, in this case the word "FT" and populate the separate column automatically.

I tried Vlookup but that only finds the first cell containing the FT.

I've also tried =IF(SEARCH("FT",E1),E1,"". But, using the search formula would leave the unmatched cells empty. I simply want words with letters "FT" to be repopulated from one column to another column without any gaps between them (or empty cells. I think there is SMALL(IF()) formula that can be used or an index formula which could look up all the cells in one column and create another cell containing the matched letters.

Many thanks
