How to calculate duplicates with exceptions

Hi Community,

i have create this formula to calculate the ducpliates in a list:

Exampel = VAR varCurrentValue = 'Elements'[Description]
VAR varInstances =
    COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            'Elements',
            'Elements'[Description] = varCurrentValue
        )
    )
var Result =
    IF(
        varInstances > 1,
        "No",
        "Yes"
    )
RETURN
    Result
 
however i would need to exclude some exception in the list for example : house, car and table
 
Can you help me with this??

            'Elements'[Description] = varCurrentValue
        )

you could add a var at first to specify the the elemets like element <> "car" && element <> "Table" && element <> "house"
