Unique Combinations/Permutations Of Words

May 16, 2008

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.

Combinations/Permutations Of Words/Text

Apr 23, 2008

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.

Finding All Unique Combinations Of List Of Words?

Dec 6, 2011

I have 15 different words that I want to order in as many ways as possible, but only 3 at a time.

So let's say the words are:

cat
dog
elf
clown
monkey
rock
bananas
(etc)

then I want a list that has all of these possible combinations:

cat dog elf
cat dog clown
cat dog monkey
cat dog rock
cat dog bananas
cat elf clown
cat elf monkey
(etc)

until all are listed. I understand there is a huge number, I don't mind having a couple of thousand as long as they are all genuinely unique.

I CAN have elf dog cat, elf cat dog, dog elf cat later on ... it's just the order that needs to be unique not the words in the phrase.

Combinations (not Permutations)

Apr 26, 2006

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 ?

All Combinations/Permutations

Jun 2, 2007

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:

Permutations Or Combinations Of A Set Of Numbers

Mar 11, 2009

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

Combinations/Permutations Of Values

Oct 5, 2006

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

All Combinations Or Permutations From 2 Lists

Oct 24, 2006

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.

Matrix Combinations And Permutations

Mar 15, 2007

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...

Generate All Combinations From 2 Columns NOT Permutations

Feb 14, 2013

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

I don't need permutations so, for example, the third column should only give the combination "AB" and exclude "BA".

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.

Macro To Concatenate Unique Combinations??

Sep 10, 2009

I have the following example values in Column A and I want to concatenate each unique combination to a list.

A
B
C
D

Example necessary output:

A vs. B
A vs. C
A vs. D
B vs. C
B vs. D
C vs. D

Notice there are no duplicates (e.g., A vs. B / B vs. A). I have found many macros that will create all the duplicates but none that will create only unique.

Get All Unique Combinations From 6 Columns (multiple Rows) Into 7th Column

Jul 2, 2014

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

Count Quantity Of Unique Combinations Of Multiple Columns

Apr 20, 2014

I have two columns in a spreadsheet, and I need to write a formula to determine how many times each combination shows up. Example:

SKU-A Location1
SKU-A Location1
SKU-A Location2
SKU-B Location1
SKU-B Location7
SKU-B Location7
SKU-B Location8
SKU-B Location8
SKU-B Location8
SKU-B Location8

I want it to have the data converted to be like this (with the third column being the the number of times that combination appears):

SKU-A Location1 2
SKU-A Location2 1
SKU-B Location1 1
SKU-B Location7 2
SKU-B Location8 4

Generating List Of Combinations With Both Unique / Independent And Dependent Input

Mar 26, 2012

I coordinate access requests for several contracts, and I have to list the approved accesses in a list where each line represents one person and one contract. For each access request, there will be an arbitrary number of persons obtaining access to an arbitrary number of contracts.

The input would then be as follows: Joe A and Jill B request access to contracts 1001, 1002 and 1003 ->

Joe A   1001
Joe A   1002
Joe A   1003
Jill B     1001
Jill B     1002
Jill B     1003

To automate this task, I have made a simple macro for generating a combination list of all persons having obtained access to a selection of contracts.

My macro worked well when I only wanted to list unique and independent list items, but now I have been asked to include each person's email address. How I can change my code so that only one email address is copied into my list for each person?

Code:
Sub AccessList()
Sheets("requests").Select
Dim rng As Range, c As Range
Dim rng1 As Range, c1 As Range
Dim rng2 As Range, c2 As Range

Count Unique Words Appearing In A Column Once Per Row

Jan 16, 2010

I would like to modify the below macro so it only counts a word once even if it appears more than once in a row. The reason I want to do this is so I can get a snapshot of the data without certain terms being over-represented.

For example, in the attached example the word 'Microsoft' appears 5 times in row 4 but I only want this to be counted once. In the whole data set Microsoft appears 20 times but only in 7 of the 20 rows so I would like the count to be 7.

The example is set out as follows: In column B there is a description field which in practice will contain consumer complaints and inquiries. To keep the data anonymous the description is filled out with random words and all other columns are blank. The output of Andy Pope's unique word counting macro appears in I:J.

1,2,3,4,5,7

Auto-calculate 2 Column That Contains Numbers And Words Words

Jul 16, 2009

I've been using conventional method to do this and it's time consuming. I would like to total up 2 column. A multiply B to be exact. Below are some examples:

Table 1 - Before totaling up:

Quantity
Product
5
2 x Button A White
3
4 x Button B Pink
4
5 x Ribbon A Black
2
3 x Thread A White
6
2 x Cloth A Blue

Table 2 - After totaling up:

Quantity
Product
10
Button A White
12
Button B Pink
20
Ribbon A Black
6
Thread A White
12
Cloth A Blue

I need to have the sum of the "Quantity" multiply "Product". Or in short A x B.
And the end result need to have the number and "x" sign removed while keeping on the the products names. (2 x ) Take note it's "number" space "symbol" space.

I am trying to find certain words in a column and delete the word and characters following. For example, Say I have a column of info as seen below. This is a test of me. I am just experimenting with this stuff. Deleted (6/15/01) Let me know what you think. I am not sure about it all, but I guess I will figure it out. riviledge1 (01/05/06) Now let's see what happens when I try to test it.

I want to find all the "Priviledge1 (01/05/06)" and replace with nothing. Please note, the date will change with each record, so I need to figure out how to tell Excel to find "Priviledge1", delete it and the date behind it. So I want to delete "Priviledge1" and the next 11 characters including the space.

How To Turn Abbreviated Words Into Full Words

On to the topic, I have all the US and Canadian states abbreviated (CO = Colorado, etc.) and was wondering if there is a way to make all of them convert to their respective names in one fell swoop instead of writing it in for each one, one at a time. Something along the lines where I can make, CO = Colorado, TX = Texas and then hit enter and all of the abbreviations would convert. Some kind of command.
