    Trying to create a lookup function for participants to use to compare their selections

    hello,

    I am running a contest where participants have made 8 selections for their team and I would like to give them an option to search the database for similar selections....pivot table doesnt seem to offer a view that shows how many participants and what participants have selected both apples and bananas---range would be anything between 1-8 selections--can anyone help?

    You will need to post a sample of what you are trying to do
    My approach to providing help is to help you to help yourself. So my answers won't always solve your problem, but hopefully you can learn enough to solve the problem yourself and be more self sufficient for the experience.

    See attached sample file....

    I want Donald Duck to be able to either type or select as many players as he would like in the query, and see what teams have a single player like tiger wood, then add Ernie Els so both players , then add Adam Scott so all three players, and so on...

    I don't see any reference to teams in your sample sheet, just players and people (or ducks actually).

    Actually the teams are the people...each entrant selects their 8 players...
