E20 with the series of numbers in tenth, and with five numbers on one cell. Between 01-37. How do I write a formula on column R to identify any repeated numbers from E20 with E21? In the chart it shows number 10 is repeated from E21, so I place a check mark on the same row as E20 on column R.

On column S how do I write a formula to identify numbers within E20 to see if there are any consecutive numbers? On E20 there is none, on E21 there is one 10-11, and column S will let me know if there is a consecutive by placing a check mark.

Appreciate any help with this, right now I am manually doing this by hand.

Why not split the numbers up like we did in your other thread then this task could be achieved with much simpler formulas?

F2 copied across and down.
R20:S20 copied down.

Also, you would get more helpers if your sample data could be easily copied from the board, to save us having to type out sample data. Have you tried Excel jeanie

Ah I didn't realise it was only a match if it occurred in the same "position". That certainly simplifies it (as well as breaking text across columns as you say).

Peter,

The sheet has changed and require repeating number to count both in the same position, and in other positions too. How do I change the formula to fit this new change?

Thanks.

When I apply this formula in cell F20, and use conditional formatting to give color to the cell it would not do it. Do you know why? Would help a lot to see colors in the sea of 0 and ?.

With the same layout as in my example above, does this formula in R20 do what you want?

=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(F20:J20,F21:J21,0)))),1,0)

What exactly are those values/symbols and what Conditional Formatting did you apply?
