I noticed that there are 6 current drawnumbers, yet you're trying to
match only 5. *Is this intentional?

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much Domenic, your formula works but only partially. It
shows me only 1 instance of 5 winning numbers, i.e. it's date, the
earliest one. For example, if there were 3 instances of 5 winning
numbers, my formula in R2 shows me number 3, but yours lists only 1
date, the earliest one.
In regards of matching 5 only numbers, you are right, it is
intentionally - for clarity. Later on I'm going to do the same with 4
and 6 winning numbers. I want to know when and how many times
previously, at given combination of numbers, there were instances of
4, 5 and 6 winning numbers.
Any idea, how to change Domenic's formula, so it lists all dates of 5
winning numbers not the first one only.
Thank you.
