I need assistance to develop a loop based on these 2 tables below.
The first row contains the values that will repeat along the table.

For the first table each value will repeat 04 times.
For The second table the values will repeat 05 times.

Table01

Thanks for your amazing formula and efforts as well. But the idea is develop a VBA Loop to do this.
Thanks again

How about
Code: 
Sub Luthius()
   Dim Ary1 As Variant, Ary2 As Variant, Nary As Variant
   Dim r As Long, c As Long, cc As Long
   
   Ary1 = Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlConstants).Areas(1).CurrentRegion.Value2
   Ary2 = Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlConstants).Areas(2).CurrentRegion.Value2
   ReDim Nary(1 To UBound(Ary1), 1 To UBound(Ary1, 2) + UBound(Ary2, 2))
   
   For r = 2 To UBound(Ary1)
      For c = 1 To UBound(Ary1, 2)
         If Ary1(r, c) <> "-" Then
            cc = cc + 1
            Nary(r, cc) = Ary1(r, c)
         End If
      Next c
      For c = 1 To UBound(Ary2, 2)
         If Ary2(r, c) <> "-" Then
            cc = cc + 1
            Nary(r, cc) = Ary2(r, c)
         End If
      Next c
      cc = 0
   Next r
   Range("A20").Resize(r - 1, UBound(Nary, 2)).Value = Nary
End Sub

Unfortunately NOT.
I need to develop a loop to "fill" the values based on 2 set of values using the characteristics of each table shown.

Arr1(1 to 6, 1 to 15)
A pseudo algorithm for the first Array.
01-Get the value from Row#1 and distribute randomly the same value 04 times along 04 Rows of the Array out of 06 rows.
Random Example for the code on first Array Column
Arr(1,1)=Empty
Arr(2,1)=A
Arr(3,1)=A
Arr(4,1)=A
Arr(5,1)=A
Arr(6,1)=Empty

A pseudo algorithm for the Second Array
01-Get the value from Row#1 and distribute randomly the same value 05 times along 05 Rows of the Array out of 06 rows.
Arr2(1 to 6, 1 to 6)
Arr(1,1)=Empty
Arr(2,1)=A
Arr(3,1)=A
Arr(4,1)=A
Arr(5,1)=A
Arr(6,1)=A
The result will be the arrays combined. Total of 15 Columns and 06 Rows. Each column value will be distinct (unique) due the characteristics of the Arrays.
Hope I could explain it better.

I made a mistake on second array explanation. Instead "A" the value is "P" like the table I presented before.

It would have helped if you had said that from the start and mentioned it again after Peter had provided formulae that compile the result table.

Do you have the top row showing the values to choose from, already in place?
If so where are they?

Firstly apologies for my poor explanation.
Yes, the values are on top row.
I gave as example 21 letters of the alphabet in 2 different tables where these letters are stored in the first row of the tables.
Let's say that:
The first 15 values or letters are on Range(A1:O1) Rng01
The next 06 values or Letters are on Range(R1:X1) Rng02

The loop will go through the first row and repeat the value 04 times for the next 06 rows (randomly position). Then move to the next column doing the same thing until finish the Rng01.
The next loop will Get the value from Row#1 of the Rng02 and distribute randomly the same value 05 times along 05 Rows of the Array out of 06 rows.
Then move to the next column doing the same thing until finish the Rng02.

Ps.: I just need the combination of both loops. Meaning a table with 15 columns and 06 rows where there is no repetition of values between the columns of the same row.
Example:
B C D F H I J L M N Q R S T U
C D F G I J K L M O P Q S T U

Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that. Hopefully someone else will step in and help.
