So this goes a bit over my head so I am coming here in hopes for help and a solution.

I need a formula similiar to the one posted here:

However, I have some exceptions...
I do not want any duplicate letters in the combination (ex. Abc is ok, Aab is not)
The combination must contain a vowel (a,e,i,o,u,y)

Is this possible?
 
=ArrayFormula(QUERY(FLATTEN(FLATTEN(CHAR(64+SEQUENCE(26))&IF(CHAR(64+SEQUENCE(26))=TRANSPOSE(CHAR(64+SEQUENCE(26))),"~",TRANSPOSE(CHAR(64+SEQUENCE(26)))))&IF(REGEXMATCH(FLATTEN(CHAR(64+SEQUENCE(26))&IF(CHAR(64+SEQUENCE(26))=TRANSPOSE(CHAR(64+SEQUENCE(26))),"~",TRANSPOSE(CHAR(64+SEQUENCE(26))))),TRANSPOSE(CHAR(64+SEQUENCE(26)))),"~",TRANSPOSE(CHAR(64+SEQUENCE(26))))),"WHERE NOT Col1 CONTAINS '~' AND (Col1 CONTAINS 'A' OR Col1 CONTAINS 'E' OR Col1 CONTAINS 'I' OR Col1 CONTAINS 'O' OR Col1 CONTAINS 'U' OR Col1 CONTAINS 'Y')"))

the folks over at stackexchange helped me, they were really nice people

Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
For future reference.
