Hello,

I need a formula that returns an array of matching elements of list A, IF duplicates of it's values are found in list B.

LIST A (source list)LIST B (list to check against)
hellowell
therehello
myare
partneryou
my
partner
today

So I'm looking for a formula that will return an array that contains {hello,my,partner}.

Note: Output must maintain the list order (e.g. so {my,hello,partner} or {partner,my,hello} are incorrect). And the formula must return an array (as I need to run additional calculations on it in a cell).

Can anyone assist?
 
Would either of these suffice?

Dynamic array formulas.
