Hello

i want to create a spread where i input the 6 lottery number into say a1 b1
c1 etc
and have my list of lottery numbers (4 rows of numbers or more) highlight
red (or what ever colour)

any ideas

Hi,

I think you need to explain a bit more. In most lotteries (I think) you only
pick 6 numbers. What do you want highlighting and where? How do we get to 4
rows of numbers or more from 6 numbers?

Hi,

Select the 6 columns and as many rows as you have lines (Mine start in A4 so
change to suit) and then

Format|Conditional format
Select formula is and enter the formula
=COUNTIF($A$1:$F$1,A4)0
Pick a colour and OK.

Hi,

Counting the colours is possible but this is simpler. Put the formula at the
end of each row and drag down

=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(MATCH(A4:F4,$A$1:$F$1,0)))

Here is the way I did it when I played the Lotto where b5:f5 are the winners
and b6:f6 are your numbers.
Quit years ago. Suggest you do the same.

=IF(F6=0,"",SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(B6:F6,$B$5:$F$5)))
Then use conditional formatting cell value is between 4 & 6

A bit shorter:

=OR(A2=$A$1:$E$1)
