many times first 5 columns in 300 rows are repeated. E.g

Please use meaningful subject lines.

Sort the rows on the first five columns

In the column after the last column used in row 2 if that is the first row of
the matrix  put the following (I am assuming CW2) :

=IF((A2=A1)*(B2=B1)*(C2=C1)*(D2=D1)*(E2=E1),CW1+1,1)

Now copy that down the 300 rows

The count will increment until one of the first five cells changes.

Question:
Can (based on your example of a 300x100 'grid') the search text also be in the
same row AFTER the original text? or will it only appear once per row?
Example:
row1: ABCDELXZQABCDESN.....ABCDEOSZW

the 'ABCDE' search will find  three occurances in the first data row.

I have to find  out how many times this combination of cells appears in matrix.
It could be one of Fity.
