Permutations/Combinations For Column Relative To Groups In Another
Aug 23, 2009
I need to figure out how I can get excel to write me a list of permutations / combinations for the Group (column a) and Item (column b) columns in the example. The group designates the items that should be inlcuded in the combination / permutation in Related Items (column c). I have thousands of lines to do this with so I need to figure a way to automate it. I have started the Related Items column which is the results I need output. If it could format it like this adding in the space between the rows as it outputs the answer that would be perfect. Anyone know how to do this? I've found many answers, but none that have 2 columns with separate grouping within the column.

You will find a VBA Code for a PRIVATE example - displaying all 6 numbers combinations out of 10 (1-10).
My code displays them (in column "A") BUT What my question to you is - does someone have a General/Universal code to handle other kinds of combinations.
To my opinion, the usage of Nested (For-Next) Loops will not be the ideal solution - so maybe by using VBA Recursion ?

I must first thank the forums for the amazing help in making my life just a little easier, especially member "shg" for helping set up the VBA code to help me.
So I have a sheet to develop all possible combinations of units, the letters with their associated values above, as well as the maximum number of units possible. The user inputs a top value, this is followed by some subtraction leading to a working value with a tolerance level in which the sum of the combinations needs to remain within.
What my predicament is that while the VBA code in the attached book works to develop most combinations, when I input a small number such as 405, the combinations that arise are not complete. The results are shown in the attached workbook: show combinations of H and PP, but any human can read that there should also be 2 HN in the results, as the math add's up to within the tolerance level.

For Ex:- If there are three Items.. A B C and forming a group of 2
then the the total no of combinations would be permut(3,1) = 6...
I need this to be shown as follows depending on the no of itmes and no of group no=2 in this case...
Permuations & Combinations are as follows:
AB
AC
BC
CA
CB
BA

I own a custom print shop and I am trying to generate skus based on variables..Column A will only have one item (the product code), column B will have the sizes, Column C may contain more or less colors depending on what is offered for the shirt style, Column D hopefully can contain all the combinations. All this data will be in contained within one worksheet..
Column A
Column B
Column C
Column D
G200
S

I want to output every combination of a set of numbers. These permutations must include combinations that use only a few of the numbers as well as all eight...ie.
1,
1,2
1,2,3
as well as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
The macro below is from
http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/tips/tip46.htm
This only produces combinations using every number. I'm not sure how this macro works but hopefully someone with better know how could run with it or break it down for me!
I only need to achieve this once but am pretty sure doing it manually will cause error and or madness
Dim CurrentRowSub GetString() Dim InString As String InString = InputBox("Enter text to permute:") If Len(InString) < 2 Then Exit Sub If Len(InString) >= 8 Then MsgBox "Too many permutations!" Exit Sub Else ActiveSheet.Columns(1).Clear CurrentRow = 1 Call GetPermutation("", InString) End IfEnd SubSub GetPermutation(x As String, y As String)' The source of this algorithm is unknown Dim i As Integer, j As Integer j = Len(y) If j < 2 Then Cells(CurrentRow, 1) = x & y CurrentRow = CurrentRow + 1 Else For i = 1 To j Call GetPermutation(x + Mid(y, i, 1), _ Left(y, i - 1) + Right(y, j - i)) Next End IfEnd Sub

I have a number 23753.2570, to be precise.
in another column, i have 400 rows filled with different numbers, from 1.4 to 23000,7840.
I need to find out all the possible combinations of which numbers from that 400 can make up 23753.2570.
so if my number was 40,000, and i had 4 cells with 10,000 in them, the outcome will be:
"There are 4 possible combination to your value"
then paste it into a new worksheet with the results
[cell1] = 10000 + [cell2] = 10000 + [cell3] = 10000 + [cell4] = 10000
Total = 40000
i found this code, but i tested it on the example above and it said "All Combinations exhausted" which they wasn't?
Sub findsums()
'This *REQUIRES* VBAProject references to
'Microsoft Scripting Runtime
'Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 1.0 or higher
Const TOL As Double = 0.000001 'modify as needed
Dim c As Variant

I've got what I think is a pretty interesting problem, not sure if it can be solved with Excel, and if not that's fine I'll think of something better but thought I would put it up here.
I have two lists, one of adjectives, one of nouns. I want somehow to generate every possible combination of the two. Eg:
List 1:
Adj1
Adj2
Adj3
List2:
Noun1
Noun2
Noun3
gives us:
'Adj1&Noun1', 'Adj1&Noun2', 'Adj1&Noun3', 'Adj2&Noun1' ... etc etc
Is there a way to solve this problem using a macro or a pivot table?
NB ideally i would like all possible combinations to include reversals. i.e. 'Noun1&Adj1' and 'Adj1&Noun1' etc.

i've got 2 numeric numbers one in each cell. These numbers indicate Maximum occupancies for a hotel room...
Maximum Adults Maxmium Occ
3 5
The Occupancy table looks like this
Adults Children Infants... so taking the above numbers the table should be built up like this
Adults Children Infants
1 0 0
2 0 0
3 0 0
1 1 0
1 2 0
1 3 0
1 4 0
1 1 1
1 1 2
1 1 3
3 2 0
3 0 2
3 1 1
etc...
so basically to room can have a maxium of 3 adults and 2 children equaling the maxium room occupancy.
i'm trying to create a function that will automatically do this and workout subsquent numbers below the maxmium but i can't get anywhere near the result i am looking for...

I have two columns of data in a worksheet, and I need a third column that shows all of the possible combinations of the data in those two columns. For example:
A
A
AA
B
B
AB
[Code] .....
I don't need permutations so, for example, the third column should only give the combination "AB" and exclude "BA".

I was just wondering is it possible that a excel spreadsheet could find all the different combinations for these set of letters. Also i can only have 1 letter from each group per combination.
First Group ABCDE
Second Group FGHIJK
Third Group LMNOP
Forth Group QRST
Anyone know is this is possible to create?

I'm trying to figure out how to generate all combinations from a list
of N values in a column, let's say column A. In particular, I want to have all combinations of 2 values, 3 values, 4, ... up to 7 values. To give an example: Let's assume I have a list of only 3 values (1,2,3) for which I want to have all combinations of two values. In this case, the result would be 1,2; 1,3; and 2;3. The ordering of the values does not matter, i.e. duplicates should be eliminated.

I have a list for example:
apple
pear
grape
orange
i'm after some code that will create every possible combination of the list.
The examples i've found in the archives give all possible combinations of the same list in a different order
e.g apple, pear, orange, grape.......apple, orange, pear, grape.........apple, grape, orange, pear etc etc etc... THIS IS NOT WHAT I'M AFTER.
i'm after every possible combination starting right at the beginning with single words
e.g
apple
apple, pear
apple, pear, orange
apple, pear, orange, grape
pear, orange,
pear, orange, grape
orange,
orange, apple
etc etc you get the idea..... but i do not want repititions like
apple, pear.........pear, apple.
apple, orange, pear ...........pear, orange, apple.

Is there any way to determine all possible unique combinations (or sets) of any 3 strings in a table? I need to make a master set list from a list of strings which could be over 100 elements long.
Once I have a result set, I need to get rid of any groups which have a value contained in another group.
Example:
cells A1 through B100 contain:
Item1 45
Item2 50
Item3 98
...
Item100 75
Result set would contain groups of any 3 item combinations where the corresponding "B" value is within a certain range (between 40 and 80), while also trying to create sets with the lowest possible sum (placed in the 4th column) of the 3 numbers.
One possible combination would be:
Item1 Item2 Item100 170
etc...
I need to list all possible combinations, without re-using an element from a previous (lower sum) combination that matched the criteria.

I have SEVEN numbers and FOUR groups.
What I would like to do is list ALL the PERMUTATIONS of those SEVEN numbers in FOUR groups.
So basically, the groups would look like...
7000
4210
4201
4111
4003
3400
3310
3301
3301
3220
[code].....
...and EACH group would add up to SEVEN etc.
I think there are a total of 840 different PERMUTATIONS available, from anything from 0 numbers in a group to 7 numbers in a group.
I need ALL these groups listed individually .Is there some code that will do this?

I have a data that looks like:
1
a
data_1a
1
b
data_1b
1
c
data_1c
[code].....
Is there a way to automatically make all possible combinations of deduction between members of group 1 only then of group 2 only etc? So it would look like:
data_1a-data_1b
data_1a-data_1c
data_1b-data_1c
data_2a-data_2b
data_2a-data_2c
data_2b-data_2c
Combinations between letter indicators but not between number indicators. BTW groups are different in size starting from 2 till 8 members.

I have a sheet with 3,000 rows and only two columns. Column "A" consists of 20 to 30 different names, column "B" consists of 50 to 60 different products. I need to be able to evalute the value in column A and copy, paste special transpose all values in Column B that have the same value in column A. As an example if cells A1 through A5 is "Arizona" and cell B1 is Broccoli, B2 is Cauliflower, B3 is Apples, B4 is Oranges, and B5 is Bananas, I want to copy B1 through B5 and paste special transpose to cell C1.
This then would need to loop all the way to the bottom of the data in Column A looking for a change in value. The attached file called Sample Data has two tabs. The one titled "report" shows the raw data, the one titled "Final" shows how I would like the results to appear (column L)

I have work sheet, ("Sheet1"), there are about 17000 plus entries in two columns A and B,. In Column C, following formula is inserted to show the "number of occurrences" of a Group in Column A.
=IF(ISBLANK(F4),"", IF(COUNTIF($F$2:$F$118,F4)=1, "", COUNTIF($F$2:$F$118,F4) & " occurances"))
Mine active worksheet is Sheet2. In Column A, an entry is made and Column B fetches the equivalent entry from Column Sheet1:B. The formula is :
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1, Sheet1!$A:$A,0)), INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$C, MATCH(A1, Sheet1!$A:$A, 0), 2),
IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1, Sheet1!$B:$B, 0)), INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$C, MATCH(A1, Sheet1!$B:$B, 0), 1),""))
When an entry will be made in Column A of Sheet 2, naturally it brings the equal of Column B. What I will like that in the subsequent columns, C,D,E,F,G,H, etc. the values may be reflected for all the occurences equal to entered in A1. For example if in Sheet 1, :
1234 xyzxyz
1234 bxyxdx
1234 ffffffff
1234 ggggg
So these are four occurences. in Sheet2, when one entry of 1234 will be made it will show any of the four values, the rest three values may be reflected in subsequent columns.

What I am looking for is to select between 7 and 15 numbers in total, I want all the possible 6 digit combinations for this.
EG: if I choose 2,9,11,13,15,17&26, it would look something like this
2,9,11,13,15,17
2,9,11,13,15,26
9,11,13,15,17,26
And so on.
If I chose more numbers (10) 1,2,3,4,3,6,7,8,9,10 it would start something like this
1,2,3,4,5,6
1,2,3,4,5,7
1,2,3,4,5,8
1,2,3,4,5,9
1,2,3,4,5,10
And so on.
Please remenber I would like to be able to secelt between 7 and 15 number and be given all the possible combinations.
I would like it to be in one sheet but if that can not be done on as many as it takes.
It would be good if I could just type the required number into A1,B1,C1 and so on and they just gave the combinations required.

I have a table with 6 columns (A to F) and multiple rows each, with cells containing words. Taking the words in any one cell from each of the columns in order from A to F will form a complete sentence each time. I need a solution to display all unique possible combinations in column G.
The number of rows is different for each column. A successful result in column G has to include cells from all columns (A to F).
I searched this forum and found a few analogous questions/solutions, but nothing close enough for me to apply to my case. I tried using a concatenation formula, but I have to manually edit the formula in each cell to get all unique combinations (and that would mean thousands of times). If I just drag the formula down it will increment all cell rows instead of one cell's row at a time.
Here's an example : all possible unique combinations.jpg

I'm just learning VBA and attempting to modify an existing piece of code. My only question is where it's possible to refer to a column in relative terms. In others words for the following:
If Target.Column = 33 Then
Is there a way to ensure that if users create or delete columns resulting in the current column 33 now changing to column 34 or 32, my code still applies to the correct column?

I'm am trying to take multiple column-groups and sort them by product ID number.
I am trying to put together a sales record for the past 26 months for around 2000 different items and sorting them manually would obviously be a nightmare.
I would like to sort them so that all the drugs with the same NDC (prod ID) have the correct data for each month displayed on the correct row for that NDC. Right now I have each set of data for that month sorted by product ID number but some months we used certain products and others we did not. Is there any sort of Macro that I could use? What I am trying to do I attached two files. The "before" and my desired "after".

I have a data set in an Excel spreadsheet entered as one column of data. It is names with addresses, phone numbers, job title, etc. I want to select and transpose each person in the list so when I am done the person's name is in column A, Company name in column B and so on. The problem is the information listed is not the same for each person - so there is a different number of rows for each person. The names are in bold text though, so I need to select from one cell with bold text to the row BEFORE the next row with bold text and transpose the data for each selection. I found this forum by finding an old question here that is similar at Copy based on Bold Paste-transpose provided in that post and it produced no result.

I have a below formula which extracts the v and number attached to it I would like to copy this across all columns and change row for each column. So for example 1st column reference will be B4, the second column would have a reference B5 and so on, it's probably worth to mention that cells I am referencing to are in other sheet hence why there's Ref! before B4 is this why absolute column and relative row not working?

Then column E is hidden, regardless of whether Test is moved left or right. The reason Test moves is due to the user inserting or deleting a column.
