"Filter" -> "Autofilter" and set the condition in the desired column.
It should work.

As mentioned above - through Autofilter. If you want to automate the process (for example, a table with exclusions contains many fields that you are tormented to update manually in the autofilter; a table with exclusions changes often; etc.), then you need to add a column to the main table in which to write a formula that checks the Article of each strings for matches with articles from the exclusion table (usually done via match\vlookup\index-match). The formula would return, for example, TRUE for exceptions and FALSE\empty for other rows. And then on such column to do the autofilter. The main thing is not to forget to update it after the changes.
Or you can stupidly avoid the table of exceptions - if it is filled in manually, it's easier to manually fill in the "Exceptions" column directly in the main table, unless, of course, there are many lines with one article, then it's better to really check the table.
The screenshot shows a slightly modified example: it shows that even if there are several lines with the same article, this approach still allows you to filter out such lines.
