Hi everyone,
I'm looking for help with a solution to generate all possible combinations of a set of data, and have these combinations shown in separate columns.
Small example:
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]a[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]z[/TD]
[TD]&[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]a[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]z[/TD]
[TD]&[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]b[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]y[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]a[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]y[/TD]
[TD]&[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]c[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]a[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD]&[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]

[TD]a[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]

[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
I will be working with larger datasets than in the above example, possibly generating 1-2000 combinations.
I am open to either a VBA or formula solution, but have very little experience with VBA so please provide some additional info rather than just code if possible.
Is it possible to do this?
