Find All Possible Combinations Below Certain Value?
Feb 3, 2014
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 need to know how to find the best combination of combining these drums to get the highest average from each combination. Each combo will have 3 drums except for one which will have two and a half.
How do I create a formula that will count the occurrences on each row within the range F7:H106 where the single digit in FJ6 is paired with the 2 digit value in FF7. Match in any order.
example If FF7=00 and FJ6=1 (Match 00 with 1 in any order) f7:h7=010, match, count 1 f8:H8=059, no match f9:h9=100, match, count 1 f10:h10=001, match, count 1 f11:h11=007, no match Result=count=3
i found this vb code the other day on this forum from a post made way back in 2005 i think it was. I've found it really useful for what i wanted to do, but i wonder if it can be expanded or changed to allow for more sets of imformation.
This is the Code, it finds all possible combinations from 3 sets of 3 results.
I have another challenging solve for a VBA macro. So here it goes, as I have become frustrated trying to make an array formula with no joy. On my sample worksheet provided below this is what I am trying to accomplish:
(Solution cells) B4:I4 looks to the (Combination cells) M5:R10 for a match If a match is present then cell J4 gives a "win" , If no match then cell J4 gives a " lose ".
Next if a win is present in cell J4, then cell K4 looks for when the draw number that matches occurred on from cells A4:A10, then subtracts the two(e.g. solutions cells from combination cells) to give the actual " # of draws to a win ". If no win is present in cell J4, then the default is zero for cell K4
The formula would be copied down thru cells J4:K12
Please refer to sample worksheet attached so that you can understand more clearly of just what I'm trying to do.
The aim is to find those combinations of variable values which generate highest total gain. I attached the spreadsheet which shows the variables (A through K) and a Gain column. I created 5 additional tabs which show all possible 2,3,4 and 5-member combinations of the variables. These tabs are like coordinates of which variable combinations should be examined. As an example I used the first combination from the second tab = A and B. If you look at these two columns on the EXAMPLE CALCULATION tab you will see 7,7 in the Number combination which is the first number pair for these two variables. The headings of the red and the yellow columns calculate the total count for this number pair and the total gain. These were recorded on a separate EXAMPLE RESULTS tab along with some other pairs which appear afterwards (these were recorded only from the first 39 rows of the AB data). I need a macro which will cycle through each variable pair (only using the combinations from the tab 2 for now, annd later from 3,4 and 5 tabs) collecting statistics for each unique number combination it encounters (printing to a separate sheet one after one), such as shown on the EXAMPLE RESULTS.
I have attached an example. If I have a set of numbers such as the one attached, is it possible to create a formula that will show me all the combinations of numbers that add up to 55.52? In the attached I have highlighted in different colours all the number combinations that add up to 55.52. The numbers highlighted in blue appear within more then one combination. Is there a formula that can do this for me, instead of randomly adding numbers hoping they add up to 55.52.

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've attached an Excel..Its a small 4X4 matrix with numbers filled inside...Next to the right is a Combinations Column..I want to know how can i use just forumla to optain 4digit combination based on the 4X4 matrix. Rule is only numbers from the 4X4 be used.
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 a table with 3 columns and n number of rows looking like this: A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2 C3 D1 D2 D3 ...
I need to create a macro that gives all the sum combinations like this: A1+B1+C1+D1 A1+B1+C1+D2 A1+B1+C1+D3 A1+B1+C2+D1 A1+B1+C2+D2 A1+B1+C2+D3 A1+B1+C3+D1 A1+B1+C3+D2 A1+B1+C3+D3 A1+B2+C1+D1 A1+B2+C1+D2 A1+B2+C1+D3 ...
I want to see how much combinations are possible when i got 6 numbers..
-- got this numbers 1--2--3--4--5--6 -- want to calculate how much combinations of ( 2 ) numbers possible -- want to calculate how much of ( 3 ) numbers possible -- want to calculate how much of ( 4 ) numbers possible -- want to calculate how much of ( 5) numbers possible
-- never 2 same numbers together (2-2) or (2-2-3) or (2-2-3-4) may not be in list
-- How can i make the result visible in kind of list ?
I would be nice if somebody knows a good solution..
i'm doing a process and in column N, i would need to have the following combinations:
A1 A2 C1 C2 H1 I1
so basically, a formula that would figure out the combinations available! can this be done using a formula?

I have a list of numbers from 1 to 20 form a2 to a21, what I would like to do if possible if figure out many combinations of 5 there are for these numbers, and then second if possible display the combinations.
E.g. say there was a total 250000 combinations then show those 250000
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
I have a table: VOICEDATAIPADSLCustomer 1YESCustomer 2YESYESCustomer 3YESYESCustomer 4YESYES
And i need to count all possible combinatins. Result could be as:
Custome who use Voice also use combination:1VOICE ADSLCustome who use Data also use combination:1DATAIP2DATAADSLCustome who use IP also use combination:1IPDATACustome who use ADSL also use combination:1ADSLDATA
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.
I need to find the possible combinations for several arrays consisting of binary data. I shall give a simplified example with three arrays and four fields. Lets assume the three starting arrays look as follows:
1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
Each row may contain one field = "1" and all other fields = "0". So the next possible combinations may be:
1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
etc...until:
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
Assuming k = number of fields and c = number of arrays the possible combinations are k ^ c = 4 ^ 3 = 64. I am looking for vba coding that allows to cycle through all possible combinations and displays them in an excel spreadsheet. Ideally, the code should work for any k and c. Could anyone please give me any pointers as to how to tackle this problem?
p.s. in essence I'm looking for the tabular representation of a tree plan with four branches to commence with, a total of 16 decision nodes, and two possible outcomes (1 and 0)
Can this be done in Excel? Using the digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 create all the permutations/combinations with limits on some of the digits. The digits 0,7,8,9 can only be used a max of 3 times in any one permutation/combination, digits 2,3,4,5,6 can only be used 4 time in any one permutaion/combination, producing a 5-digit string. Example of expected results. 0 1 0 2 7
Outside the door of my flat I have a key holder – which has a combination of 4 digits. No-one knows what the combination is, so I’d like to try to find it, clear it and use it. I wondered if there was a way to use excel to show all of the possible combinations so I can then tick them off as I try them…?
The possible numbers are 0-9, but you cant press a button more than once in any given attempt… so… first possible combination would be 0123… not 0001.
This supposed to block Alt key and all combinations with it except Alt+F1, Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift. But what I get is: if I press Alt+F1 only, F1 is triggered.

I have a set of 13 groups, each with anywhere from 1-9 different variables for a total of 56 variables. I want to find all the possible combinations of 1-5 variables. Only one variable can be used from each group in a combination. Please see attached data sheet.
