    Identifing Certian Numbers within a group of numbers

    Hello, like to thank you ahead for your help with my problem. I'm needing a formula that will search through a group of numbers and tells me how many times a certain pair of numbers were found within the group. Example: If I have 3 cells with sets of numbers (4.9.15.33.62.98.101 in 1st cell, 2.5.22.33.62.70.214 in 2nd cell, 9.11.33.62.85.83.119 in 3rd cell) need to know how many times did (33.62) was found (9.11) etc. I have 400 sets of numbers I need to enter and get identified. Hope I was able to explain what I'm trying to accomplish. Please let me know if I need more information.

    Thank you for your help!

    Re: Identifing Certian Numbers within a group of numbers

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    How do we know that 33.62 is one number and not say 15.33 and then 62.98?
    If 33.62 is a number what are the preceding numbers in that cell? 4, 9, 15, 4.9, or 9.15

    Hello Richard, you're right. I really meant to say 4,9,15,33,62,98,101. I need to know how many times (9,15) come up together (15,33) (33,62) and so on. Remember I have about 400 more sets of numbers need to enter. Thank you for your response!

    While far from perfect, did you take a look at my suggestion?

    Hello, yes that works but what formula did you use to come up with an answer of 3 and 1 in Colum C. I have about 400 set of numbers I need to enter. Please let me know.
    Thank you!

    Re: Identifing Certian Numbers within a group of numbers

    Another way to distinguish between say 9,11 and 19,11... array enter this in C1 and fill down.
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Array enter means the formula must be committed by simultaneously pressing and holding down Ctrl and Shift while hitting Enter.
