Have you tried the COMBIN Worksheet Function. From Excel help,

Returns the number of combinations for a given number of items. Use COMBIN to determine the total possible number of groups for a given number of items.

Syntax
COMBIN(number,number_chosen)

Number is the number of items.
Number_chosen is the number of items in each combination.
