    Using search>contains for duplicate letters and numbers

    Hey,

    So there is probably another way i will have to do this but, i have a list of letters and number and i use the search > contains feature to grab the majority of information e.g.
    2c2d
    2c2s
    2d2s
    3c2c
    3d2d
    3s2s
    4c2c
    4d2d
    4s2s
    5c2c
    5d2d
    5s2s
    6c2c
    6d2d
    6s2s
    7c2c
    7d2d
    7s2s
    9c2c

    I would type contains 5 and it would come back with 5c2c,5d2d,5s2s but i want to be able to grab all the cells that have the same recurring number i.e 2h2h, 3s3h, 5h5c
    I know i can use the "?" so that it ignores the letters but what would i use to make the numbers = eachother. X?X? is the kind of thing i thought it would be. I am guessing this might not be able to be done in the search > contains feature?

    See if this workbook does as you need.

    Note that the formulae in D2 and G2 are CSE arrays and must be individually confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter before draging Down.
