    Finding matching numbers in 3 different cells

    Version 2402
    I've been trying to figure this out and I'm just stuck and it's not working out.
    I have a spreadsheet with numbers in columns A, B, and C. There are over a thousand rows with numbers in each row. I'm trying to find, by entering the numbers we look for in a single cell separated by comma's, the same numbers in any order that show up in a row.
    Example:
    I want to find
    A|B|C
    1|2|3 in any order like 3|2|1 or 2|1|3 etc in a row by entering 1,2,3 in another cell.

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Administrative Note:

    Is your forum profile showing the Excel PRODUCT that you need this to work for?

    Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your product is for Mac, please also state this.

    The three most recent Excel products are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2306). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

    Thanks.

    And your Excel version? Your profile still says 15.

    Re: Finding matching numbers in 3 different cells

    You need to update your forum profile, please - Excel 2019 Version 2402 is what it needs to say, not 15.

    Are you sure it's 2019 and not 365?

    Semi-colons are not the correct delimiter in the US - they will need replacing with commas.

    I was referring to the formula in post #7.

    Thanks for updating your profile.

    That works perfectly! Thanks all! I especially like the highlighted row. Super easy to locate.

    Why have you given me negative rep?
