    Re: multiple lists intersection

    You can create a duplicate table right next to it that filters the matching values.

    In G1:

    =IF(COUNTIF($E$1:$E$30,A1)+COUNTIF($D$1:$D$30,A1)+COUNTIF($C$1:$C$30,A1)+COUNTIF($B$1:$B$30,A1)+COUNTIF($A$1:$A$30,A1)=5,A1,"")

    And then copy over and down.

    One column is still enough or I'm missing something?

    1 2 2 2 1
    2 4 6 6 2

    Re: multiple lists intersection

    To get the unique values, I just pasted the data from columns B, C, D and E below the data already in column A, then used Excel's 'Advanced Filter: Unique Values' feature and copied them to column G.

    Glad to help!
