I have a number of cells set up with numbers set in them,

Exp
A B C D E
1 1 3 8 16 33
2 16 22 23 33 41
3 9 11 30 39 41
4 14 18 19 22 42
5 15 19 22 32 33
6 7 8 18 26 36

the next part is some other numbers
exp- 1 14 15 19 42
this is setup up to change the colour of the cell, what i want is to be
able to have some cells down below that will count how many cells in each row
match,
as in row 1=1 row 4=3 row 5=1 and so on, any help if it possiable , would be
of a great help, thanks in advanced for any help

You can use a formula array similar to the following:

=SUM(IF(A11=A13:E13,1,0))+SUM(IF(B11=A13:E13,1,0))

Where A11 is the first number in the first row of numbers, a13:e13 is the
number set you are comparing against, b11 is the second number, and you will
have to add 3 other sets. Be sure to enter this as a formula array by
pressing ctrl-shift-enter

tryed that but it is not counting up , is returnin one only, I got it to work
by using a lot of count if, , this is how I did it but dont think its right
=COUNTIF(B4:F4,D1)+COUNTIF(B4:F4,E1)+COUNTIF(B4:F4 ,F1)+COUNTIF(B4:F4,G1)+COUNTIF(B4:F4,H1)
that is the first row of the cells

Ensure that you are pressing cntrl-shift-enter after typing the formula.
This will enter it as a formula array.
