Say each of the cells in column A contains a list of 5 codes separated by
commas.

First copy column A into columns B, C, D, and E.

Next set and AutoFilter for each column:
column A "contains" X
column B "contains" A
column C "contains" B2
column D "contains" T83
column E "contains" M19

The autofilter will display all the rows that have the same contents,
regardless of the order the codes appear.

Got column with thousands of cells containg different codes, e.g., cell P357
-- {X, A, B2, T83, M19}; cell P425 -- {T83, A, X, M19, B2}, etc ... Need
a way to sort these individual cells in a similar order so I can aggregate
the number of cells containing the same set of codes/values ...

I am somehow familiar with the basic Excel functionality but above situation
is really challenging me !

Thanks in advance ..
