Excel Facts

Quick Sum
Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
My approach would be to create a temporary sort key in a separate column, then sort the data using the temporary key. The temporary sort key would be two digits, the number of odds and the number of evens: "05", "14", "23", "32", "41", "50".

Yes?

See if this does what you are after.
Note:
• It assumes Column B is empty, if you have anything in this column it will overwrite it
• I have left the helper column B there, uncomment the clearcontents line if you want to remove it
• I have assumed your data starts in row one and have run your code to generate the sample data
> Sorting of odds and even numbers

VBA Code:
Sub SortOddsCnt()

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim rngData As Range
    Dim arrData As Variant, arrLine As Variant
    Dim rowLast As Long, oddsCnt As Long
    Dim i As Long, j As Long
    
    Set ws = ActiveSheet
    rowLast = ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Set rngData = ws.Range("A1:A" & rowLast).Resize(, 2)    ' Assume next column is empty
    arrData = rngData.Value
    
    For i = 1 To UBound(arrData)
        oddsCnt = 0
        arrLine = Split(arrData(i, 1), "-")
        For j = 0 To UBound(arrLine)
            If arrLine(j) Mod 2 = 1 Then
                oddsCnt = oddsCnt + 1
            End If
        Next j
        arrData(i, 2) = "Odds No: " & oddsCnt
    
    Next i
    rngData.Columns(2) = Application.Index(arrData, 0, 2)
    
    ws.Sort.SortFields.Clear
    rngData.Sort Key1:=ws.Range("B1"), _
                     Order1:=xlAscending, _
                     Header:=xlNo
                     
    ' rngData.Columns(2).ClearContents      ' Uncomment to clear helper column data

End Sub

    ' rngData.Columns(2).ClearContents      ' Uncomment to clear helper column data

End Sub
It's giving a a run-time error 13

Types mismatch

I don't know what it is

When you click on debug what line is highlighted ?
Also is your first combination on A1

Hi,
You can use this formula in column B
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(TEXTSPLIT(A1,"-"),2)=1)) and then drag it to all the 2 million combinations and then sort the data
