    Combine lists

    Hi Guys, I can not figure out how to combine lists.
    EG
    Colum A the list for each cells are CAR; BIKE;ROLARBLADE
    Colum B the list for each cells are SUN; RAIN; GRAY

    NOW we can combine this into 9 differnt options.

    How do I combine with a macro or formular ?
    I have done this manual. I would like ecel to do this for me!


    I want the sheet to write out all the combination and fill in cells.

    SO the END result will be

    A B
    CAR SUN
    CAR RAIN
    CAR GRAY
    BIKE SUN
    BIKE RAIN
    BIKE GRAY
    ROLARBLADE SUN
    ROLARBLADE RAIN
    ROLARBLADE GRAY

    Then I want the total combination in C
    CAR;SUN
    CAR:RAIN
    CAR;GRAY
    BIKE;SUN
    BIKE;RAIN
    BIKE;GRAY
    ROLARBLADE:SUN
    ROLARBLADE;RAIN
    ROLARBLADE;GRAY


    I look forward to your respons.
    All the best
    Morten
