Default Find if value exist in array

One way;

=COUNTIF(A:A,"*HR*") + COUNTIF(A:A,"*Human resource*")

Note the first term will count "Anthropologist", so you may need to
tweak the search term (e.g., "HR*" for all terms starting with HR, or
"*HR *" for all terms where HR is followed by a space character).

Hi,

Is there a function i can use to find out if a value exists in an array?

For example, I have a long list of job titles and would like to find out
which ones have HR or Human resource somewhere in their job title.

Thanks.

Isa.
