Using Formula To Return All Possible Combinations Of Cells?
Feb 25, 2013
I am attempting to return all possible combinations of 2 columns.
The first column is on Active Customer list as follows:
Customer Number(could contain up to 20,000 records)
1
2
3
4
5
The second column is on Finelines and markups as follows:
Material(Could contain up to 15 records)
a
b
c
d
e
The formula is on Sheet 3 as follows:
=INDEX('Active Customer List'!$B$2:$B$50000,ROUNDUP(ROWS($1:1)/COUNTA('Finelines and Markups'!$A$2:$A$15),0))&INDEX('Finelines and Markups'!$A$2:$A$15,2-MOD(ROWS($1:1),3))
I have manipulated the formula but can only get it to return all the combinations for the first two materials.

see my attached picture. I am attempting to write a simple Excel Macro that can take the data from the red box and make it into the data in the blue box. Assume that I have a lot of data that will fill up the contents of the red box. I want to run the macro and have the macro output the data, NOW redistributed into the format that is contained in the blue box.

2 formulas that I need for my work (related with linear recurrences; this is serious work). First, I would like to know if is it possible to write a formula (or a set of formulas) that allows to write in a first column, in the first cell, the number 1 and in the following m cells, m distinct numbers chosen in a set S of n numbers (n > m); in the second column again the number one, and another set of m distinct numbers chosen in the same set S (here the order of the elements matters which means that the set {1,2} can be written as (1,2) and (2,1)). And I would like to do this until all the choices of m (ordered) numbers chosen in the set S are exhausted. Example: S = {2,3,4} which means that n=3. Suppose m=2. Then the columns would be
111111
223344
342423
The second formula I'm searching is (I think) a logical formula. What I would like is a formula that checks if the numbers in a fixed number of consecutive cells of a column are distinct and also non-null. If that's the case the formula should assign TRUE and if (at least) two cells are equal or (at least) one is zero, it would assign FALSE.

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.

The following macro searches for missing combinations. This macro will search the complete list and will return any missing combination from "1, 2, 3, 4" to "7, 8, 9, 10".
I need to make some changes in this macro, so that it will search for missing combinations only within a specified range of cells (and not the whole list). For example (see excel file attached), I would like to place a search within range("G23:J183"), from combination "1, 2, 6, 9" to combination "4, 6, 8, 10". In this case, it should return only 9 missing combinations.

I am trying to find a way to use information in one cell in order to look up corresponding multiple values on another sheet. The problem that I am running into is that VLOOKUP only returns the first value. I need the values to be calculated in different cells going vertically, not all combined in the same cell as was in an earlier post. I am not looking to sum anything so a pivot table also doesnt work.
Sample data:
A / B / C / D
Identifier / Pub ID / Invoice # / Job #
ABCD1234 / ABCD / 1234 / A41254
ABCD1234 / ABCD / 1234 / B41254
ABCD1234 / ABCD / 1234 / C41254
DCBA4321 / DCBA / 4321 / A56789
etc.
I am looking for it to do this:
A / B
Identifier / Job #
ABCD1234 / A41254
/ B41254
ETC.
I want to enter ABCD1234 into another worksheet and have it return all of the job #'s, but I have a lot of these so I don't want to have to look up how many job numbers there are associated with it and have to enter different formulas into multiple cells. Filtering also isn't an option as there are simply too many cells to calculate.

I have 7 cells containing strings but not numbers on a row.
Now I want to list out all the combinations of drawing out 3 cells out of these 7 cells while the remaining cells that haven't been drawn out could also be listed out one column next to the drawn cells.
For example, I got 7 cells like this.
A B C D E F G (each letter in ONE cell)
And I want to list out all the combinations like this:
ABC DEFG
ABD CEFG
ABE CDFG
ABF CDEG
etc.
For more details, please refer to the attached sample (an .xls file being zipped).

Hi, I desperately need help with a pivot-table and can't find anyone else who's ever had this problem...I have a very large healthcare data table which for simplicity I will describe as follows. In essence the first two columns respectively are (A) location and (B) month. Let's say the third column (C) is the number of cases of the disease kidpox treated in each health centre during that month. The fourth column (D) is the total number of cases of everything treated during that month in each clinic. The fifth column (E) is the proportion of cases of this disease over all consultations for each health centre and month, and the formula in E2 is .....

I've got an If statement in Excel which features several VLookups - I need the IF statement to return differing results to 2 different cells, is this possible?
In plain English, I'm looking for something like
If(Vlookup(A2, B2:D5, 4, False), C6="y" And D7="ok", "False")
Obviously this is a very crude example

I'm trying to create a rec report, ideally on one page, for multiple criteria. The situation is we get a report on our trade positions (investment stuff) from an outside service we use. We also have a report internally from what we've booked. We're looking to tie out are basic things like price, original par, revised par, trade date, counter-party banks, etc. I've consolidated data from both sources on one page (DATA) where all data points are lined up (say EXTERNAL is from rows 1-500, and INTERNAL is 510-1010). Now I need to create a front page showing the result of each tie-out. The lookup value will be a combination of the fund name + trade ticket number which would almost guarantee a unique ID (fund name XYZ, ticket number 12345 = XYZ12345)
Current tabs on spreadsheet: DATA, EXTERNAL, INTERNAL. I need to add a REC page
Question: What formula can I use to check on each and return TRUE/FALSE? The goal is to have about 8 columns on the REC, each for one of the tie-outs (let's use price as an example.). I know the basic VLOOKUP to return one value, but it appears in this case I will need VLOOKUP to check two matching values based on unique ID XZY12345, compare the price, and return TRUE if they match, FALSE if they don't
Here's something I saw from one of our spreadsheets that I think does the same to confirm counter-party, though I have no idea how to read this lengthy formula.
=EXACT(VLOOKUP(IF(Q2="COMPANY",R2,Q2),FUNDS!$M$1:$N$400,2,FALSE),
INDEX(PENDING!$G$4:$G$3218,MATCH(CP!C2,PENDING!$N$4:$N$3218,0)))

In Cell (W6) I have a value for example of 100,000 In Cell (AE6) will have a value of for example -100,000. In Cell (AF) I want to put a formula that says "if the number in (W6) is a positive number and the number in (AE6) is a negative number the return a value of "1". and vice versa if the number in cell (W6) is a negative number (-100,000) and number in Cell (AE6) is s positive (25,000) then also return a value of "1".

I need a formula to add two (2) cells (one cell in sheet 1 and the second cell in sheet 2) and return a value of the two (2) cells in sheet 3. I would like the formula to return a zero (0) value instead of #VALUE! ERROR displayed in sheet 3 if a cell in sheet 1 has zero (0) value and the second cell in sheet 2 is blank. For example: sheet 1 D2 (0) + sheet 2 D2 (blank cell) = zero (0) instead of #VALUE! ERROR
In addition, if cells B11:B12 are blank in both sheet 1 and 2, I would like the formula to display blank in sheet 3 for cell C11:C15 instead of displaying #VALUE! ERROR.
Here is the formula I have: =IF(OR(ISBLANK(Sheet1!D2),ISBLANK(Sheet2!D2)),"",Sheet1!D2+Sheet2!D2)
Note: I have attached a sample data set for better conceptualization of the problem. Sample_Formula.xls

I have a column of transactions lets say 500 or so, of irregular numbers such as 257,273.80 (not something ou can add up in your head...). I know that of those 500 transactions a handful of them have a sum of lets say 2,877,000.00, which I know. Now I need to find all possible combinations of values in this column that equal a sum I enter.

I have up to 30 cells each with an integral value from 1 to 5. The task is to list all the ways that selections of from 1 to 5 cells can be made from the list such that the value of the sum of the selection is 5. It will usually be the case that there will be a final selection that will not sum to 5 and this needs listing also.
I am aware of coding that can list out combinations, but not in a form that can be adapted to deal with the summing limitation. I hope that I will be able to code so that I can deal with different numbers of cells and different sum values.

I have 5 numbers (can be with decimals) in column A (A1:A5). For these
numbers, I want all combinations as well as the median of these
combinations.
I'm pretty far already. However, the median seems to be calculated
wrong.

I need to find possible combinations for the following example:
a*x + b*y + c*z = t
p = 10
Where
a = 0
b = 5
c = 10
t = 30
x + y + z has to = p
a, b, c, t, and p would be variables that I would specify. The numbers above are just examples. What I would need to see as output would be:
7a, 0b, 3c
4a, 6b, 0c
5a, 4b, 1c
etc...

I have a simple list of names with associated numerical values.
I would like to create a formula that will produce a series of all possible series of 8 of those names whose combined numerical values are at or below a certain threshold (or between two thresholds, if that's easy). Bonus points if the total combined value for each group is easily shown, but that'd just be gravy.

I want to have a sheet with all the previous drawings for the florida lottery.
Then I want excel to ask me how many numbers do I wish to play.
Then when I say 12 (for example) it would pick 12 numbers from 1 to 53 and match all possible comibinations of thoses numbers to the the previous drawings and tell me wich 12 number combination would have won more times then others. So it would need to compare each possible 12 nmber combination to each other and see wich one won more 6outof6, 5outof5, 4outof4, and 3outof3. Then give me the one with the highest winings

Here is what my table kind of looks like
A B
4 0.25
7 0.3
2 0.1
3 0.15
4 0.30
1 0.4
8 0.05
2 0.1
Now there is the number and the number(A) that it value it represents (B). This is what I want. I want to see all possible number combinations between the upper and lower A columns listed veritcally under the whole set, with out duplicating any numbers and with the upper numbers only being in the 1st position and the lower numbers being in the second position Ex( 4-1, 4-8, 4-2, 7-4, 7-1, ect, ect (listed vertically). Now in column B under, right beside each possible combination I want to see the result of the two values multiplied (ex. beside 4-1 I would like to see 0.1)
So below that mess listed above I want to see something like this
A B
4-1 0.1
4-8 0.0125
ect
ect
ect
I want to be able to swith the values around and have it automatically make the correction.

I am trying to create a combination list. I have 48 items and I want to create all possible comibinations of 3 items from this group of 48 items.
I did something similar to create all possible combinations of 2 items from the group of 48 items in the attached spreadsheet. This was done manually and was time consumning. I want to do something similar for all possible combinations of 3 items from this group of 48 items.
All my 48 items are listed in rows 4 and 5. I want to enter the number "1" in each column to indicate my selection. Right now I have 2 ones per row. But I want to do 3 ones per row.
