How to compare a set of number for a draw in Excel 2007

I would like to compare 6 digit data stored in six columns with a string of data.
The input digits range 1 to 49.

Then matched numbers are then displayed in one column and the number of
digits match in the next.

Any solution which could produce the expected results will be fine with me.
Please see attached excel 2007 file for the details.

Hi, asidu.

Please see highlighted cells in the attached.

The formulas are ...
=IF(ISERROR(FIND(","&B8&",",","&H8&",",1)),"",B8&",")
&IF(ISERROR(FIND(","&C8&",",","&H8&",",1)),"",C8&",")
&IF(ISERROR(FIND(","&D8&",",","&H8&",",1)),"",D8&",")
&IF(ISERROR(FIND(","&E8&",",","&H8&",",1)),"",E8&",")
&IF(ISERROR(FIND(","&F8&",",","&H8&",",1)),"",F8&",")
&IF(ISERROR(FIND(","&G8&",",","&H8&",",1)),"",G8&",")

Open in new window

{=SUM(IF(ISERROR(FIND(","&B8:G8&",",","&H8&",",1)),0,1))}

Open in new window


(Please note that the latter formula should be array-entered, i.e. drop the {} and use CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.

Regards,
Brian.
