I am trying to figure out which 2 numbers appear TOGETHER the most frequently
as well as the 3 numbers that appear TOGETHER the most frequently.

The data set is.

1. All time numbers- 9260 results
2. The last 5 year numbers- 1461 results


I need = sign formulas for the areas in green.

I have ab iMac so there is no ALT F11.
That is why I previously wrote:
I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
OK I now know how to do the process. the code has an error.

Or if anyone knows the answers, please post them.
I am only looking for the 3 most common numbers and their probability.

The set has 9,260 rows so if the 3 numbers showed up 15 times, then
the probability would be 15 / 9260 = 0.00161987041

Here are the answers. I paid someone on Fiver to run the VBA.
