Hi,
I need a script that takes an InputBox entry separated by commas then form number combinations of two from the data entered. The InputBox will always take a maximum of 5 numbers separated by commas. Example "00,01,02,03,04"

And then form all the combination of two :
"00-01"
"00-02"
"00-03"
"00-04"
"01-02"
"01-03" etc

I want to get the output displayed with a message box or any cool way is okay maybe display it in a listbox or whatever.

I want someone here figure out how to do it for me.
Regards
Kelly

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Try this for results in column "B"
