    How to get 100% similar cells as specific scenario in column b

    can u help please for example

    a1 contains 22 strings
    a2 contains a1 strings + 13 more strings....
    a3 contains only 20 strings of a1 and 10 more.
    .... i want this.....

    In b1 it display the message "contain all string in a2"
    in b2 it dispplay "unique"
    in b3 it also display "unique" (because it does not contain all strings in any cell)

    If there is arrange issue in column A, it should also count.
    (I want to get column b data using formula,)

    Next time, please remember that pictures are pretty much useless. We cannot edit them! Attach an Excel file instead.


    =IF(A2="","",IFERROR("String contained in A"&MATCH(1,(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A2,$A$2:$A$14))=1)*(ROW($A$2:$A$14)<>ROW()),0),"Unique"))

    Ooops.

    =IF(A2="","",IFERROR("String contained in A"&ROW($A$2)-1+MATCH(1,(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A2,$A$2:$A$14))=1)*(ROW($A$2:$A$14)<>ROW()),0),"Unique"))
