Count if two or more numbers appear in a set

Good evening. I have a large dataset in a table, each integer occupying its own column, and each row containing the full set of seven columns. Integers will not repeat in a row set (each is unique). I'm trying to identify when two or more integers appear together across a row set.
I'm using COUNTIF to identify the total counts for each integer, but do not know what function and syntax to use to count them together. I've tried combinations of COUNTIF, SUMPRODUCT, SUM and others but am clearly doing it wrong as I know that some do appear together, but I'm getting a 0 result with each try.

Help?

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Hi ,
You have to apply this formula to each row .. and it will give you the number of repentance.

=COUNTIF(A1:G1,A1:G1)-1 , paste and use ctrl+shift+enter

and then drag it.

Ah, the ctrl+shift+enter part I had forgotten.
I'll work on that, but there's one additional part. Currently, I have over 1,300 rows of data and the current request is to identify the frequency of the top 5-10 numbers that occur and how frequently they occur together. I'm fine doing additional derivative work, but what would you suggest I do?
Thank you for this critical first step - I will do it and continue to play with the data but wanted to get your additional input.

Here is a sample series with some of the numbers changed out.

3292345401516
30191226332322
42222749124133
36161815204122
13181420211536

<colgroup><col span="5"><col span="2"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

In this case, what I'm trying to do is identify how many times the numbers 15 and 16 appear in each line. Puru.sve's solution should still apply but I don't know how to identify multiple criteria for the same range.

Formula in I2
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT((($A$2:$G$6=15)+($A$2:$G$6=16)),ROW($A$1:$A$7)^0)=2))

Hope this helps

Thank you, M. I've been away for a few days and am now able to try this. Presumably if I wanted to add additional numbers to the command, it would be by adding "+($A$2:$G$6=xx)" to the initial area, where xx is the next digit?
I will be giving this a try soon!
