    Cross-Referencing Numbers. Is this possible?

    Hi All,

    After playing around with UK Lottery results and number selecting for the past few weeks, I've come accross an instance where I want to test if a certain pool of numbers has won a prize in the past 'x' amount of draws.

    Ok, simple as I can, this is what I've got:

    1> A pool of (in this case) 17 numbers picked at random. - These are placed in cells A1:A17.

    2> A list of previous winning balls from the past 1162 UK Lottery draws (excluding bonus ball). Draw 1 is at B2:G2, going down to draw 1162 at B1163:G1163.

    Now then, what I'm after is:

    In the cell to the right of each line of draw numbers I want to know how many numbers from my pool of 17 cropped up in that particular draw. A simple figure, no text required. i.e: if all 6 winning balls were in my pool of 17, the cell would state '6', and so on.

    I have seen a similar thread on this site which included a file called 'Lottery Checker'. I have played with that, but couldn't quite get it to work for me.

    Any help would be fantastic. Cheers guys.

    Carl
