I am looking for a solution in excel that will match frequent groups of numbers for only matches 3 times to the max of 6 times. Example: I have 6 columns, and an infinite number of rows, for this example only 4 are shown. Regardless of order, (2,7,4) have repeated in row 1 & 2 & 4. (2,7,4,12,3) have repeated in row 1 & 4. While (13,11) repeated in row 2 & 3 it is not of interest since it is less than 3 numbers.

A B C D E F
1 10 2 3 7 4 12
2 2 7 4 14 13 11
3 20 13 11 15 3 33
4 2 4 7 12 3 21
 

Excel Facts

Quick Sum
Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
Try this for data starting "A2", and Results starting "H1".
