Hi,
I would like help with coming up with a formula which will help me generate 5 two digit number groups.. yes, this is lottery related... lol.....

anyway, say I have a number list, which could vary in length, starting in A1 and could go down as many as 40 numbers.
the numbers in the list could be any number between 01 to 60, never higher then 6. So it could look like this:
12
10
09
03
11
20
02
05
19
14
06
45
on down....

From this list I would like to generate sets of 5 2 digit groups, like this:
02 03 05 06 09
05 11 14 19 45
02 05 11 12 19
10 11 14 19 20

the groups of numbers generated could start C1 and go to G1, and go down.

I would like a box or drop down option where I could select the how many number groups are generated, 5, 10, 15, 20, and an option to generate the maximum possible variations of those numbers from the list, if possible. so if I select 5, it will generate only 5 random groups of numbers taken from the list. if I select all possible variations then it will generate all the possible variation... Given that the number list in column A is very random and not consecutive, I don't think the total variations will be that many??

Thank you for any help offered.

Dave
