Does Excel have the ability to auto-populate all combinations of a series of cells that meet a certain criteria, and then list each combination seperately?

I need all combinations possible of the sum of six cells' values. The sum cannot exceed 50000 and must be greater than 49700. Also all combinations must contain the two cells with different font color. Each cell is independent of each other, even when value is the same. For example, there are five cells with the value of 7600. Consider these 7600a, 7600b, 7600c, etc.

No, there is no auto-populate things the way you want ... have you considered how many total combinations you are talking about here? If you are using a combination of any 4 from the 93 ( excluding the 2 that are always present in any result ), that is 2,919,735 combinations. Only a subset of these will meet your criteria, of course.
