Need help comparing values of two multiselects

Hi, I'm trying to write a formula to see if two multi-selects share a common value. For example, one column is "User Style" that is a multi-select with keywords representing a the user's style (minimal, practical, etc.). The second column is "Item Style" with keywords representing an item of clothing's style (minimal, 70's, etc.). I want to write formula that returns true if "minimal" appears in both columns.

Hi!
This can be solved if you use two relations instead of two multiselects:

Sharing the formula and how it works for sure will help solving this and others with similar questions.

Strictly speaking, the task require solution for multiselect field. And I haven't completely despaired of finding it yet. There are still a couple of ideas left to try.

This is great, thank you! Would you mind sharing the formula for "Common value?"
