    Find a multi string match in Column A

    Hello everyone!

    I'm hoping you can help me with this.

    Problem:
    In Column A I have multiple strings, for example:

    1. 20D Fun 0L
    2. 10D Fun 0L
    3. 0L Fun 20D

    As you can see, 1. and 2. have the same information.

    Solution:
    Ideally I would like the formula to search Column A and find cells which have 3 matching strings. In Column B, the result should output the matching cell. For example, in the data I presented, the result for A1. would be A3.

    I appreciate any help.

    You would need to share a workbook with more sample data than 3 rows (maybe 50-100), and show what you expect as your result for the data mocked-up.

    I've attached sample data and how I'd like the results to show. There only exists 1 duplicate for each cell but the strings are in different order.
