Hi Arek, The following works but may not be the best way to do it. In[1]: MapThread[If[(MemberQ[#2, #1] || #1 == #2), 0, tr] &, {{1, 2, 3}, {{1,2},2,2}}] Out[1]: {0,0,tr} This assumes that the second list is atmost 1 level deep. If it is deeper, i.e., instead of say {1,2} in the second list you have {{1},2} and you still want zero then you can modify MemberQ[#2, #1] TO MemberQ[#2, #1,2].
