    Search letters and numbers to see if exist in another column by at least 7 characters

    Dear community,

    I am trying to create a formula to use in Excel 2010.
    The formula should try to find a match searching in 2 columns of at least 7 characters (letters and numbers) and return "match" as a result if found.

    My issue:
    I have two columns, Pass1 and Pass2. containing characters mixed with letters and numbers. I need to know if the characters are found in both columns.
    In column Pass1 the order is correct and in column Pass2 the order may be incorrect but I still need it to return "match" if it has the same characters, at least 7 should be enough. It also need to disregard of capital and small letters.

    What I have tried:
    I have used ChatGPT and Excel AI and got this formula " =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(EXACT(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1),MID(B1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B1))),1))))>=7,"Match","No Match") "

    But it just return with errors when put into C2.

    Attached file:
    The file contains columns Pass1 with correct order and Pass2 with incorrect order, but in the file all are matched by 7 characters so in column C it should all return "Match".

    Thank you in advance!
    Mary
