    match numbers function!

    hi
    I like to find or match numbers as follows:

    7293 > 8922 = 2 matches

    simply how is this done!

    remember double digits count as 1 match and each digit has its own cell....

    thankx for reply

    this will do it but its un-wieldy i'm sure someone else can simplify it but it should give you some idea
    the test for match simply returns the position of the matched number,first instance only
    so this effectively ignores duplicates

    formula to count matches in cell N2 is an array formula and needs to be entered with ctrl+shift+enter
