Search cells for matching text from list issues

[Nordicrx8]

Hi Team!

I need some help figuring out why this formula isn’t working.

I have a report that is 250,000 rows long. Column B contains text strings – some are short, some are long.

In Column B, I want to search each cell to see if the below list of words/phrases are found within the cell.

<address map>
This Address is not serviceable
Article
(Charges and (This is a partial search criteria)
Document
(Setup Data)

I’ve tried multiple formulas, all of which are either not providing what I’m looking for or are providing false positives.

This formula puts everything as a “Yes”. If I remove the *, it looks better, but I’m getting false positives.

=IF(OR(COUNTIF(B2,"*"&Key!E$2:E$19&"*")), "Yes", "no")

One issue seems to be with “<Address map>” Even when I try to do a search for this value by itself, it returns false positives. I’m assuming the carrots may have something to do with it?

If anyone could help me figure this one out, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Thanks all!

I think I found the issue - the range include a blank cell, which it looks like the formula was looking for blank cells. (which is all of them)

I'll post again if I continue to run into issues
