    Exclamation Checking For Recurring Data That Only Appears In All Columns

    I have an excel spreadsheet with 4 columns. Each column contains the names of members who purchased ticket at an event, making four events in total. I am trying to expedite my process of looking for members who attended all four events. Is there a forumula or way to narrow these 4 events down to members who only went to all 4? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sounds doable.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window (or use the paperclip icon).

    Exclamation Re: Checking For Recurring Data That Only Appears In All Columns

    Ok I think that i've properly attached the workbook. So as stated, there are four events which comprise the four separate columns. Below the headers are the names of patrons who have attended these events. I want to highlight or distinguish in some way the patrons who bought tickets to all four events. For example, no patron except for "Mike" purchased tickets to all four events. So I want to someway be able to distinguish him from the rest of the data set.

    Maybe conditionally format by formula?
